Steering Through the Inner Residue Ting-Chun Liu & Leon-Etienne Kühr
Description What happens when a system confronts its own output? Steering Through the Inner Residue is a video installation that uses recursive feedback to investigate the media specificity of generative AI. Image outputs from diffusion models are reintroduced as inputs, without any textual prompt, bypassing…
RPM (Routines Per Minute) ROBO Educational & Research Robotics
Description RPM (Routines Per Minute) is a kinetic installation featuring a set of black tracks on a floor. Upon this circuit, a colony of custom line-following robots operate at frantic, varying speeds. Some race with aggressive, high-speed "ambition", while others stutter and stall, physically manifesting the…
CARE POD: From the Delivery Box as an Object to a Micro-Space of Care Stavros Theophanous
Description This research-driven architectural model investigates the hidden physical networks behind digital food delivery in Nicosia. While delivery apps project an illusion of immaterial consumption, couriers navigate a car-centric infrastructure, creating unseen mobility networks. CARE POD: From the Delivery…
Quantum Jungle Robin Baumgarten
Description Quantum Jungle is a tactile interactive light installation that invites guests to shape waves of light and motion inspired by the strange beauty of quantum physics. It spans a wall of over 1,000 touch-sensitive metal springs that trigger ever-shifting patterns, rippling, colliding and collapsing in real time, creating a hypnotic…

Description Form-finding of Minimal Surfaces refers to student projects developed in the undergraduate course Advanced Computer-Aided Design in the Department of Architecture at the University of Cyprus. The course focuses on using computer software and fabrication mechanisms as tools for architectural design, prototyping…
Reactive Matter: Voxels Structure Scenocosme : Gregory Lasserre & Anais met den Ancxt
Description Reactive Matter: Voxels Structure is a sculptural, interactive artwork composed of several independent cellular robotic structures linked together. The structure's bricks are like voxels with AI in a real physical space. The sculpture reacts like a living organism. Each electronic cell…
Warscrolling m22
Description War has become mundane in algorithmic social media. We can observe it casually while eating a meal or relieving ourselves. The platforms enable forensic investigation: Combatants share DIY weapons, ammunition details and field methods, bringing viewers closer to destruction than ever. Warscrolling is a form of doomscrolling that documents the hyperreality of…
UNDA Clemens Hornemann
Description In the reactive installation UNDA, digital communication, the invisible flow holding our modern world together, becomes physically tangible. In basins of black-coloured water, fine waves, interference patterns and turbulent upwellings emerge in response to mobile data use around the installation. The system measures and converts the upload and download streams of…
At Least I'm Making Money Carolina Sofia Bischof
Description At Least I'm Making Money is an interactive installation about how money, power and the arms industry uphold modern war. War tends to be framed as a conflict between nations: USA vs Iran, Russia vs Ukraine, Israel vs Palestine. But this hides another dimension. War…
The Thirsty Cloud N’Found Objects
Description Although they seem immaterial, data flows rely on actual material flows. As AI doubles data flows every two years, the number of data centres worldwide grows by 20% each year. These sites — blind buildings where data is processed and distributed — need permanent cooling systems, and the cheapest…
