a swarm of cyber sculptures that can connect through a local network or light signals. the sculptures are able to interact with each other: interpreting and fantasizing about each others in and output...
each exhibition they engage in a new dialogue.

patriarchy_smasher ︎︎︎

is a creature that is stimulated if the conversation is dominated by male voices, the character gets triggered, causing the red lights to rise . . . when they reach the top, the sculpture gets activated and shares women who have played an important role in the history of computing.

phantasmagoria ︎︎︎

uses image analysis to see what the other cyber sculptures are talking about. when triggered it generates a new image based on the analysis . . . at the exhibition unstable image it selected suitable artwork from the centraal museum’s collection database in the same way as the work: archive.dweller.

geoglyph ︎︎︎

delves into the invisible history of queerness and witchcraft. during the exhibition unstable image it was focussed on the city of utrecht . . . taking you through the hidden myths and legends of the city . . . it uses large language models to speculatively augment missing information from poorly documented stories.
