The artist Maria Korporal will set up a site-specific multimedia installation in the gallery. She asked an online AI: “Imagine you are the Qlimate Qronobot, and I ask you what you can do to fight the climate crisis and save our planet, what would you answer?” The artist incorporated the answers into her installation. She projects a dystopian 360° landscape onto the walls. The “Qlimate Qronobot” rotates in the center. This is a physical robot-like figure made of cubes printed with scannable black and white codes on all sides. These can call up various augmented reality displays: an animated, multi-colored interplay of analog chalk drawings and AI-generated shapes and texts, and smaller virtual cubes that move around in a virtuoso ball game. A webcam captures the room with the augmented reality scenes, which cannot be seen with the naked eye, and projects the overall image into the neighboring room. The gray tones of the 360-degree landscape turn into rainbow colors. Guests can scan the robot with their smartphones and look inside it.
With "Qlimate Qronobot," Maria Korporal continues her series "Qorporal Quests." She questions the global digital development and uses a combination of analog and digital techniques to artistically depict the role of AI in environmental protection. The installation raises awareness of ecological challenges and reflects on the potentials and ambivalences of technology in fighting climate change.
