25-02-2021 (Thursday) 18:00

K(not) a Conversation is an installation exploring the concepts of artificial intelligence, creativity and labour. Inspired by ancient indigenous communication systems of Quipu knots, it instigates a communication and reflection process through the use of knots and AI systems. 

For transmediale / Vorspiel & CTM artists Nayeli Vega Vargas, Thomas Heidtmann, Ambika Joshi present the second version of the project. It completes the original concept developed during the CoLab Fellowship by introducing an enhanced digital version and by showcasing a first physical sculpture prototype.
