  • Working Man

    Working Man

    Crisis of work of late capitalism accelerated by technological automatization leads the author into the space of speculative cultural anthropology. Author inhabits a role of an exhibit from near future, when labour itself is fully automatized and from the human point of view it becomes a purely folklore activity. The framework and choreography of the artwork’s execution is a reconstruction of possible findings of a culturological research. At the first sight a banal, repetitive activity appeals at visitors‘ imagination and ability to frame their experience as a new normality and keep this vision as a possible modality of their further living.

  • Red Queen

    Red Queen

    The Red Queen is a chess piece from the story of Alice in the Wonderland that is constantly running to keep it in place because the world around her is still on the move. Therefore, it is the symbol of evolutionary theory of the infinite necessity of innovation and eternal escape from competitors. The Red Queen plant is portrayed as a miniature neoindustrial civilization in a clearly hierarchical chaos. This is an interactive installation built from a control computer, eight FDM printers and several generations of evolving entities that the system itself creates. Every other entity is a unique code that is the result of calculating the evolutionary recombination processed by the computer, depending on the reactions of external observers to already created objects. The purpose of each entity is therefore to attract attention. The faster it can handle, the greater the chance of continuing its code in future generations.

  • NerudAI

    NerudAI

    Computer poet using artificial inteligence

    Jistě jste se někdy setkali s jednoduchými básničkami generovanými počítačem – většinou jde hlavně o to, aby se rýmovaly a myšlenka v nich není. Naším cílem  je něco jiného. Experimentovali jsme s učením počítače jak má vůbec čeština a poezie vypadat. NerudAI používá hlubokou neuronovou síť typu LSTM, které jsme ukázali několik set tisíc amaterských volných básní z hlubin českého internetu. Nejen že se naučil sám česky, ale také dokáže občas udržet nit nějaké zajímavé myšlence. Jelikož většina amatérských básní byla smutných, občas máme pocit, že dokáže smutkem vyrovnat robota Marvina ze Stopařova průvodce galaxií. Schválně – nechte si napsat básničku.

    How to get a poem?

    Our network unfortunately works only in czech language – but you can generate a poem for your Czech friends – just hit enter button on the keyboard and wait for your poem to print!

    Pressing enter lets you write a poem on a random topic. In case you want to enter the topic and the name of the poem, just type it on the keyboard and after pressing the enter key, NerudAI tries to put a poem on your topic. But we have to say that the results with random generation are better. In case you do not print, please call someone from the festival and he will help you.

    How does it work?

    LSTM síť se v podstatě učí posloupnost čísel – v tomto případě jsme celou abecedu reprezentovali jako vektorovou číselnou řadu. A postupně jsme síť učili, jaké znaky jdou po sobě. Celý systém
    generuje jeden po druhém následující znak v řadě – takže se systém sám naučil česky a dokáže si občas vytvořit vlastní slovo. Jedná se samozřejmě spíše o vtipný experiment, který pracuje s velkou
    mírou náhody – proto se z výsledků musí často hodně vybírat. Občas ale systém složí něco velmi zajímavého.

  • Inside

    Inside

    The skull is perhaps the most complicated, tantalizing and at the same time certainly a horrifying, exciting part of the human skeleton. Nothing is so unambiguous on the remains of a man, but also anonymous than the loose and loose head. More recently, it was what individualized us, what we were distinguishing and learning among ourselves … The skull / skulls are so similar, so unfortunately unifying. Uniformizing death, transience, and vanity, in which we are all equals in the end, because we are actually the same. Our "portraits" are at the same time self-portraits of all of us. This terrible inevitability of a common future destiny in which perhaps the consolation may be the idea that we do not know and we do not know when it will be completed … "
