6th Patchlab Digital Art Festival 2017 D ATA A R T & A I

From 24th to 29th October, for the 6th time Patchlab will raise the subjects relevant in the fast-changing world. The topics are sometimes uncomfortable, but always remain relevant from the point of view of a modern man, living in the digital age. This year’s main theme is data art and artificial intelligence. There will be projects presented that are created with usage of extraordinary material - big data bases, which have an increasing impact on our life and the whole society. With their increasing amount and role, new possibilities for the development of artificial intelligence have emerged - a whole new level of being, carrying both hope and anxiety. At Małopolska Garden of Arts and at the Contemporary Art Gallery Bunkier Sztuki the festival will comprise 14 installations created by electronic media artists from Poland, Germany, Austria, Hungary, France, Turkey, Greece, Cyprus, Italy, Belgium, Denmark, Portugal, Iran, Hong Kong, Japan and Taiwan. The official opening of the festival will take place on 24th October, but we invite everyone to visit Czeczotki Palace on 23th October, where, together with Conrad Festival and Hungarian Institute of Culture, we will open a light installation 'Dark Matter' inspired by atmosphere of Heart of Darkness. The works displayed during the festival include a unique installation 'Reading Plan' by Lien-Cheng Wang, showcased at this year’s Ars Electronica, which brings up the topic of authorities controlling content read by students at schools in Taiwan. One of the most important events – presentation of 'RadianceScape' by XCEED from Hong Kong, an installation and perormance for electromagnetic field, projection and laser visualising radiation data from Fukushima and Chernobyl. There will be an occation to meet artificial intelligence, which will write a book during the exhibition and will learn how to interrogate (Pretext and Triolog by Jerry Galle); to listen to the sounds of stars and constellations (Stellar, Francesco Fabris); to track own activity on Facebook and see real profiles created by algorithms (Data Selfie, Hang Do Thi Duc); to see own reflection in a digital mirror, which projects one’s emotions right here and right now (Emotional Mirror, random quark), or to check what are predicted paths of development of art as seen by artificial intelligence (Art Predictive Art Bot, Nicolas Maigret and Maria Roszkowska).
