Cork Openings at Osage Galactic Wine Sharing Party Ars Electronica 2021
Opening simultaneously the Galactic Wine Sharing Party and Garden Hong Kong @ Osage exhibition curated by Ann Mak, the "CORK OPENINGS" video is inspired by a piece in the show: the robotic, AI, art installation commissioned by FOCAL / Naim, and produced by the Neuro Design Lact, SCM, CityU HK. In the installation, robots test human conflicts on a chessboard. Here they test openings (the first moves in chess playing) while obviously opening bottles of wine. Can AI be drunk, another moment of the Galactic Wine Sharing Party, is one of the marginal questions at the core of this Ars Electronica 2021 event.
