A throwback to last week's keynote at the Weizenbaum Conference in Berlin, hosted by the Weizenbaum Institute for the Networked Society. I had the pleasure of presenting our award-winning visual evidence software and protocol, Hashd0x, which is dedicated to combating misinformation through secure, blockchain-based verification.
Alongside the talk, we premiered a new AI piece titled 1 & ∞ 🪑, exhibited at the conference venue — Silent Green Kulturquartier. The work was developed in collaboration with my long-time studio mate and AI artist Artem Konevskikh.
This was the 5th Annual Conference, focused on the theme "AI, Big Data, Social Media, and People on the Move," bringing together researchers and practitioners to reflect on the evolving dynamics and implications of digitalisation.
A big shoutout to all the colleagues and collaborators who have been part of the Hashd0x development journey — your contributions continue to make this work possible.

Marble, polyamide, machine learning algorithms, custom software, original dataset, multichannel video installation.
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the capacities of AI models to reconstruct missing fragments of objects from classical antiquity and generate synthetic historical documents carved in stone.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'.

Initiated in 2011, ongoing.
5-channel video installation; HD film; website: thenewcolor.net; book, edition of 50.
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.
