„Unreal things fly through space - A granular machine memory“, Mixed Media & VR Installation, Janine Scheer-Erb & Catherine Spet

The artwork "Unreal things fly through space - A granular machine memory" (Простор лети нестварне ствари) opens a journey through the matter of time, into the memory fragments of a seemingly real place, a collectively archived space-time continuum. Here, digital data becomes the only tangible medium to retrieve forgotten stories and hidden places. Like a network that is invisible but always there, the artwork leads into a narrative of digital associations and connections of an alien-familiar place, guided by a digital "I" - a machine intelligence. An artificial intelligence has no body, which is a prerequisite for the interaction between body and brain. Completely without material location in the analog world: can an artificial intelligence experience trauma? Whose memory is then shown here? Can a feeling of closeness arise?  Does the memory space exist through time independently of the perceiving subject, or does it only come into being through being walked through? - They are always there, but I don't even see them, but I can feel them (Они су увек ту, али ја их ни не видим, Али их осећам)As part of "The Great Liman - Matter through Time.
