Alexander Schubert - Asterism (Outdoor Version)
.
Immersive AI Oracle Simulation
2022




Summary:
Continuous spiritual simulation, world building and deconstruction, excess, surrender, engagement and future observation.

Asterism is a simulation space for possible worlds: virtual, spiritual, dystopian and embracing. In a black hall, accessed through a preparation lock, an extract of reality is constructed - a complete natural copy of a living surrounding. This setting is interwoven with digital and AI controlled components, which create a space on the border of realities. It investigates the question of how much reduction can be done and still maintain the real - or what are the basic components to construct a spiritual experience. This clash and switching between worlds opens an insight into possible futures of a bio-technical nature in which humans are faced with new conditions. The setting was designed as an immersive experience space to which audience are given access for sustained duration.
