First up is the stubborn rebel: "... and where are the other colours?"

The German language is so rich in monstrous words, born of the attempt to “always get everything right” and to “please everyone”. An attempt to uncover the hidden poetry of a bureaucratic monster.

The title of this piece had been floating around in my mind for some time as I searched for suitable content, and I finally found it: 50 terms that contain the word ‘green’ or can be more or less easily and loosely associated with it.

On the one hand, designed as a 3-dimensional text collage using HI (human intelligence), AS (artistic sensibility) and CS (craftsmanship).

When the 50 terms were fed into the AI ChatGPT as strings of characters, they were digitally processed and mangled into a political manifesto.

If printed out, it could be read, perceived, evaluated and reflected upon as meaningful words... understood as meaningful sentences... and implemented as guidelines for solution-oriented action...

It is eerie to realise that this pamphlet has certainly never been formulated, contemplated or even discussed with others by any living person in this context.

The political manifesto was fed into the AI ChatGPT as a string of characters and digitally processed and mangled into a populist counter-manifesto.

Ich hoffe, dass ich Sie neugierig gemacht habe und Ihnen bei der Vernissage oder während der Ausstellung begegnen darf.
