Superflux

This speculative work counters contemporary AI narratives, foregrounding rivers as embodied sources of ecological intelligence. Instead of humans prompting machines, here the river prompts us, using technology as a bridge language to encourage deeper attunement with the world.

https://moth-in-relay.net. The first computer 'bug' reanimated to fly across global internet infrastructure. Running live as a public net-art project, a moth endlessly travels across data centres, cable landing stations and hyperlinks, crawling the web for a way out of the relay

Trout Telephone is a telematic art installation presenting a communication system for trout across habitats fragmented by dam constructions in Los Angeles’ Arroyo Seco watershed.

23 anonymous donors. One chimeric genome. 99 AI-generated faces. In an interactive installation, visitors select and merge fragments — becoming amateur gods recombining identity the way CRISPR recombines biological code. One genome. No one. Everyone. Anonymous and Collective.

AEVUM is a cyborganic installation where biological systems act as unconventional computational agents for real-time audiovisual composition. The work reimagines computation as a slow, adaptive ecological process, forming a distributed network of living intelligence.

Sasha Stiles

An immersive generative language environment that advances poetry as a defining medium of the 21st century, and explores “poetic intelligence” (the intertwining of emotion and algorithm to make meaning) as a model for how technology can deepen, rather than diminish, our humanity.

Faith is a voice-activated installation about bad-faith online trolling and techno-optimist belief systems. It mimics a standard voice assistant, but aims to make its user lose faith in the black box whose mechanism is opaque.

Where Is the Price maps the global supply chain of AI through a series of physical objects and a web-based version. It constructs an unintelligent, non-interactive AI sculpture that challenges the commercial image of AI as “cloud-based, friendly, and smart.”

Andrea Chiampo

A conceptual piece centered around a lost digital artwork. Deliberately deleted, its data scrambled into millions of hex characters unsolvable by today's technology. Sealed in a smart contract, it awaits quantum computing to be resurrected. Ownership, for now, is guardianship.

Calculating Empires is a large-scale installation and interactive web site mapping five centuries of technology and power. It traces how empires have used communication and computation to classify populations and centralize control, placing today's AI in that imperial lineage.

Cache Machine is a multimedia installation that replicates the resonant hum of “thinking” machines, using EMF microphones to record the often inaudible electromagnetic output of computation itself, reading and writing, and real-time denoising of image generation models.

ARtrio (Tristan Braud, Brian Lau, Dominie Chan and Christopher Chan)

TTY2 combines a traditional bamboo moongate with AR calligraphy inspired by villager memories at the Yim Tin Tsai old pier's ruins (HK). This installation overlays digital poetry onto the landscape, engaging audiences with rural heritage through a multi-sensory experience.
