DarkMatr2 — nadine

Wed 18/7

After a quiet morning in Brno it’s time to start our ‘skipping Austria’ train trip. In Brno we take the train to Vienna, but not without some problems.. If you take a train with your bike you have to make a reservation and of course we didn’t.. But we discover that the magic words “we can pay, how much is it?” resolve our problem. And not only in Czech the magic words work, also in Vienna where we change trains to head to Lasko, Slovenia. We occupy the restaurant wagon where our muscled waiter serves us wiener schnitzel and apfelstrudel. Arriving in Lasko, we learn that the small town is all about beer (Lasko beer) and a natural spring.

NL – Tom Heene, media kunstenaar en cineast in residentie, werkt met zijn collega’s Jack Boyer (o.a. rybn.org, antidatamining) en Nicolas Montgermont (o.a. chdh) aan de tweede versie van zijn installatie DarkMatr.

De installatie gebruikt data van het net om een soort poëtische chatbot (chattende robot) te creëren die met jou en andere users communiceert op basis van datamining (teksten, citaten, dialogen en beelden).

De dialoog die je zo aangaat zal je opslorpen in een filosofisch-grafisch-cinematografische discours.

The installation uses data from the net to create a kind of poetic chatbot (chatting robot) that communicates with you and other users by means of data mining (texts, quotes, dialogues and images).

The dialogue you are starting will then absorb you in a kind of philosophical-graphical-cinematographical discourse.
