The Planet of Expanded Visions. Vasulka Live Archive / Augmented Interfaces. Ars Electronica festival

Original language description

The exhibition took the form of an ecosystem of interfaces that make the content of the Steina and Woody Vasulka archive accessible in an innovative way. The title Planet of Augmented Visions refers to one of the leitmotifs of the creative practice of these pioneers of electronic arts – the development of technical extensions of the human perceptual apparatus. To do so, they used different optical devices (consisting of mirror spheres or mobile cameras), with an ambition to overcome the limitations of the human "point of view" and to replace them with "expanded visions", and "allvisions" of human-machine arrangements. The exhibits are results of an attend to design the novel ways of accessing and mediating the Vasulkas' archive content. They are epistemological tools made within an interdisciplinary research project devoted to the experimental application of machine learning in the service of video art historiography, analysis, and mediation. To this end, unique intelligent software for iconographic and audiographic analysis of the Vasulkas' videos were programmed and trained. As they display in real-time the visual and audio leitmotifs appearing in the videos of the Vasulkas, they serve as a means of performative mediation upon the poetics of the Vasulkas’ work. Thus, we declare the exhibition space to be a laboratory dedicated to an emerging discipline – the expanded iconology of the age of artificial intelligence (Emilly L. Spratt, 2017).
