we cascade

Inspired by the work processes and works of the media pioneer Lillian Schwartz, the artists develop a collaborative video work. They address the question of the origin of ideas and their transformation in networks. In a rapidly changing technological landscape of AI-based algorithms that repeat, vary and adapt existing ideas millions of times over, the artists use each other’s existing works as a starting point to create individual responses and variations on them. The vertical form of the projection is reminiscent of pop-cultural formats found in social media. Like a cascade, forms of expression, reactions, digital gestures and mash-ups of ideas flow into it.
