[04.08.2021]


50 autonomous robots act as a swarm and react to positive and
negative feedback from their environment. Within their artistic
work Katrin Hochschuh and Adam Donovan are particularly
interested in human-machine interaction. As part of the
residency, they want to fill their system with life and
investigate different scenarios. How does the artificial
intelligence of the swarm learn and what influence do the various
interests of its human mentors have?
