“More Horses Than Women” a Talk by Anne Wichmann on 19th December

HDSM is thrilled to announce that on December 19th, Anne Wichmann (a digital artist, New York) will give a talk titled ‘More Horses Than Women.’ The speaker will address the topic of implementing digital tools in art in order to raise social awareness. The two main examples in the talk are ARORA’s #MakeUsVisible campaigns and XRE’s ‘You Are BUTIFL’ showcase. Using these examples, the speaker will discuss how sculptures surround us and create a new balance in our public landscapes through gender-diverse Augmented Reality monuments.


The abstract of  Anne Wichmann’s presentation is as follows:

Curator and sound artist Anne Wichmann aka She’s Excited! talks about the implementation of Augmented Reality and AI technology in art, using ARORA’s #MakeUsVisible campaigns and XRE’s “You Are BUTIFL” showcase as examples.

ARORA is a network of digital monuments for a more inclusive world, bringing gender diverse AR monuments into our public landscapes to create a new balance.

The Extended Reality Ensemble (XRE) is a collective of international interdisciplinary creators and curators who combine artistry and technology to raise social awareness. In their interactive showcase “You Are BUTIFL” they explore the racist biases of graphic AI apps through performance art under the influence of OpenAI ChatGPT, representing our (biased, and heavily Western- Colonizer-influenced) collective consciousness.

This event will be held in a hybrid format, conducted simultaneously on Zoom and in room S102/36 at TU Darmstadt. To secure your spot, please follow the instructions on the Eventbrite page.

The full program of the Oberseminar series is available on our website.
