Building the world's largest outdoor AI artwork

The idea was straightforward: create an interactive artwork that highlights Baden-Württemberg and it's Cyber Valley Initiative as the epicenter for artificial intelligence on our continent. To do this properly, we had to think big and act fast, as the exhibition would already start in a mere five weeks. Too tempting to build something monumental to be set out in the public space. Put simply, our plan involved capturing the scene at the front, feeding it to a supercomputer and teleporting the results into a gigantic display. Thereby, the work shows an altered mirror image of reality, all created by a live-dreaming AI. We wanted the observer to dive in and become part of an art piece that is generated by machine intelligence and live-streamed to the internet.
