Correlations: Crosslucid
Following through multiple threads of thought originating in Nineteen Ways of Looking at Wang Wei by Eliot Weinberger, Crosslucid delved into how co-creation with machine intelligence could contribute to meaningful narrations beyond known cosmologies and improve our understanding of the world around us by leveraging possible ambiguities of machine learning.
While contemplating the intricacies of poetic language with its endless shades of meaning and implications and artistic sensibility, they further expanded on their ongoing project Osmotic AI, which investigated possible ways of communal and symbiotic healing through this emergent technology.
CROSSLUCID is an artist collective, co-founded by Sylwana Zybura and Tomas C. Toth in 2018 in Shanghai. They live in Berlin and engage in highly collaborative cross-cultural projects. Their work and research converges around the exploration of the self as a network; intimacy and the potential for pleasurable actualisation through the digital sphere and the re-imagination of our alliances with technology seen as part of a sympoietic biosphere and universal post-material consciousness. Through filmmaking, poetic AI, multi-layered techniques of collage & assemblage and experience-led interventions they create scenarios and build experiential formats that instigate prototyping and rehearsing potential futures and progressing metamodern values.
Correlations Forum, an interdisciplinary event, provided a platform for dialogue on AI in art and design. Through lectures, workshops, and exhibitions, participants engaged with intelligent systems in creative contexts, exploring their impact on society. The next forum is scheduled for November 2024, organized by KITeGG, a research project funded by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research. Visit correlationsforum.de for more details.
