ARTificial intelligence

Art meets IT. Thomas Gengenbach and I combined our knowledge and created this beautiful piece which now got published in the Journal of Science and Technology of the Arts. The neural networks use the RizbA scale I developed and allow an efficient rating of large samples of pictorial works. Our paper is Open Access and it wouldn‘t be us, if the code wasn’t Open Source as well. So feel free to reuse. Read more →

mental – the art festival on schizophrenia

How does it feel to experience schizophrenia? The Pop-up Institute brought together eight artists with and without schizophrenia experience. Together, they created an intermedia art festival that will take place at Moritzplatz in Berlin from June 11 to 18, 2022. On display will be interactive exhibits that attempt to bring the experience of schizophrenia to life. They will be accompanied by workshops, artist talks, and performances. The accompanying educational program is especially aimed at young people aged 15 and older. Educators and teachers are invited to visit with their classes or groups free of charge. Read more →
