Content Aware Studies#Autoesthetics#Engistemics#ReverseArchaeology#SyntheticHistories#Cognitecture

Initiated in 2018, ongoing.
A critical and technical exploration of the capacities of AI models to reconstruct missing fragments of objects from classical antiquity and generate synthetic historical documents carved in stone. This work questions the epistemological qualities of AI-accelerated historiography, akin to 'reverse archaeology'.

Hashd0x | Proof of War#Infodemics#NetzSchmerz#Softvereignty#EngineeredTruth

Initiated in 2022. Custom built sofware & hardware camera, smart contract protocol, mobile app.
Hashd0x is an artist initiated dApp addressing disinformation via on-chain evidence. The work Proof of War uses it to 3D-scan a bombed house in Borodyanka, storing drone images on-chain as an uncensored record of war crimes.

One and Infinite Chairs#Cyberdolia#Infollution#Autoesthetics#Engistemics

2023. ckpt-format file of a collapsed Stable Diffusion Ai model, film-essay.
A text-to-image AI model was given the prompt “A single chair on a white background.” After six iterations of retraining on its own outputs, the autocannibalised model lost ability to produce realistic chair images, but non-figurative digital noise instead. Thus revealing model collapse and its fragility to recursive data feedback loops

The New Color#Infodemics#Infollution#Knowlegistics#EngineeredTruth

2011-2018. Online intervention. 5-ch. video installation, film, website: thenewcolor.net, book.

An online mystification concerning a parascientific breakthrough discovery of a never-before-seen colour. The digital myth took the form of a fictitious company's website, video adverts & mockumentary interviews to become a viral sensation attracting mass attention online.

URL Stone#Engistemics#VirtuReal#EpisteMachine

2015. Marble, JPG File, 2-ch. video, GPS sensor, website;
The work examines the longevity of media carriers: text carved in stone vs .jpeg file on Wikipedia. Both reference each other. The first to vanish reveals its fragility.

Decentralised Embargo#AIoT#NetzSchmerz#Softvereignty#ComputEcology

2022. EnBW contract, multi-GPU server, Ethereum mining software.

A custom-built supercomputer in a Berlin gallery uses energy from Germany’s largest Russian gas importer to create electricity. The computer mines cryptocurrency for the Ukrainian state, converting Russian gas into humanitarian aid. It critiques Germany’s hypocrisy in financing both sides of the conflict.

I Print, Therefore I Am#Knowlegistics#EpisteMachine#TechnoGnosis

2014. Modified printer, plotter paper, 5 litres of ink.

A modified digital printer is able to continuously perform printing on a looped-back sheet of paper, running throughout the entire duration of the show (two month), is repeatedly reproducing one line of text: ‘I Print Therefore, I Am’.

Chinese Ink#Autoesthetics#TechnoPlural#TechnoGnosis

2018. E-ink screens, GAN Ai model, custom assembled dataset, custom-loop server; custom developed playback software driver.
E-ink screens are set to display moving images streamlined by an AI (GAN) algorithm trained on images of inkblots and set to generate similar images at the rate of thousands a minute.

Twelve Nodes#MindMining#Infodemics#Infollution#Softvereignty#InterFaith#ComputEcology

2019; Marble, e-ink screens, custom software & circuit boards, flag.
'Twelve Nodes' addresses the importance of ethical issues in relation to the misuse of personal data and proposes a collective design for the Fair Data standard, inspired by the Twelve Tables – the first written legal code of ancient Rome.

Kickback#Infollution#NetzSchmerz

2014. White t-shirts, film; duration: 02'19".

A series of interventions, where an newly purchased plain white T-shirts from a fast-fashion clothing chain, were screen printed with the short text messages, and returned them for a refund. Unaware of the modification, the store restocked the T-shirts with artists messages, featuring them in the store prominently displayed and available for purchasing.

Scatterchive#Infollution#Knowlegistics#Softvereignty#EngineeredTruth

2022. E-ink screens, plexiglass, open-source software, fragments of films by investigative journalists.
The Exo-Censorship Tactical Proposal protects investigative journalism. Censored archives are safeguarded against blocking by being hosted as tiny data bits across thousands of nodes on decentralised networks.

PropaGAN#Infodemics#MetaParanoia#NetzSchmerz#EngineeredTruth

2022; Custom build server, steel, ML algorithms, custom dataset, stereo sound.

The generative GAN Algorithm is synced to an audio file to which it matches the ongoing morphing moving image based on a dataset of explosions, smoke and clouds.

The Link#VirtuReal#InterFaith#EpisteMachinery#ComputEcology

A 3-metre metal and plexiglass object with LED-lit engraved text — http://this-is-the.link/between/the/real-and-virtual — is displayed in public spaces with a 360° camera. The URL, also a full sentence, leads to a live panoramic video stream of the installation site.

Air Kiss#AIgency#Algocracy#Softvereignty#TechnoGnosis#ComputEcology#Cognitecture

2017. Film, 19’34”, 5-ch. video installation, book.
A film, presented in a form of 5-channel video installation, looking at a near future, where governance has largely been outsourced to Artificial Intelligence in the speculative context of Moscow in 2050 where a high degree of automation is present.

The Moment, The Past#InterFaith#EpisteMachinery

2014; LED display board; documentation film: 01’13”

Emitting the brightest possible cold, white light - the text running across the LED display board repetitively states: “...This very moment, has already become the past – This very moment, has already become the...”

Unfolding#Knowlegistics#VirtuReal#EpisteMachinery#Cognitecture

2011. Movement sensor, PC, film; duration: 1'35''.
The general human question infinitely sinks in the depths of a sequence of virtual space architecture. Each new mouse click takes us away from an answer and question just as each following step of the development of media environment and virtualization moves us further away from the understanding of what makes reality real.
