Alien Life in the Telescope
Collaborative project MindSpaces & MindSpaces HK / CityUHK
On the Thessaloniki and HK Gardens channels, we’ll connect these “living" entities online under the moniker “Alien life in the Telescope”, and observe them growing before this “encounter of the 4th kind” as a prelude to the two strangers actually meeting face-to-face in their full hardware bodies. From Refik Anadol’s studio in Los Angeles, and Maurice Benayoun’s Neuro Design Lab in CityU Hong Kong we’ll see them growing, moving, and expressing their conditions and their desires. DïaloG uses technologies developed by MindSpaces partners to allow a large spectrum of perceptive features that, combined with R. Anadol and M. Benayoun graphic generators and AI algorithms, create this empathic de-alienation.
