Hybrid Systems
Artificial Individualism & Coded Corporeality
Departure point for this course is the recent network installation UTopologies* with it’s eight futuristically shaped objects/agents set up in our class room. These have raspberry brains, microphone ears, express themselves by sound and light, while being in constant interaction with each other through a LAN network. In the course of the semester, we will breed more and more individualized specimens, with new and different body shapes, limbs and organs, motoric and perceptual talents, memory, learning ...
While individual form and behavior are modeled one by one here, the social behavior patterns that emerge from the interactions of these individuals are the focus of the parallel seminar Code Experiments.
