Workshop on the interactive installation Algorithmic Cultural Vandalism with the artists Pietro Lugaro and Alessandro Mac-Nelly
The two artists Pietro Lugaro and Alessandro Mac-Nelly invite visitors to an intensive exploration of the interactive installation ACV (Algorithmic Cultural Vandalism).
ACV (Algorithmic Cultural Vandalism) is an ongoing research project exploring the relationship between symbols and artificial intelligence (AI). Visitors are invited to create a drawing using a robotic arm.
The robot is operated by an AI trained with information from an archive containing a variety of symbols, glyphs, talismans, and scripts from different cultures. Humans and machines create symbols together.
In doing so, the boundary between meaningful signs and mere scribbles is questioned. Ambiguities and the risk of misunderstanding are part of the experience. Interestingly, humans continually attempt to create meaning, even when the AI refuses to do so. In this way, ACV critiques symbol systems.
Pietro Lugaro is a research-based artist who explores the philosophy of art, visual culture, diagrammatics, and the connections between magic and technology.
Alessandro Mac-Nelly is an artistically oriented researcher specializing in robotics, machine learning, and AI models in the context of creative processes.
