Mars is stupid

“Mars is stupid” – A reading on Mars of Skip Mantleton’s “Mars is stupid” (1974), read by the speech robot Brian.
He reads the paragraphs of the book in random order, resulting in 5,443449391×10⁹² different scenarios, each with a reading time of about 13 minutes.

Walter Giers – Little Star (1990) – Digital Replica

Engagement with the question of how and whether electronic art (digital) can be reproduced, what a replica actually is, and how it works. The resulting by-product in JavaScript can be seen here.

The exclusivity of Apple products is reflected in the structure of the main building in Cupertino, SF – a ring like a bastion with the function of a cloister. In line with the iMac and its intercompatibility, the 1st Book of Maccabees also points out how dangerous it could be to open up to the foreign (similarly to the Book of Ezra, which propagates “the purity of the holy people”). Hence this cynical game, in which the player must maintain the “purity” of his people.

Deaths

Visualization of the death rate of real people compared to the death rate of virtual humanoids.
Scene change by clicking.
The problem with the many virtual deaths of virtual humanoids: Death appears much more ordinary than it actually is. Experiencing disproportionately frequent deaths normalizes it – one becomes desensitized.
Exemplary data visualization as a pointer to the distortion of one’s own perception through media influence.

QuBeenee

A punch card generator for quantum computers (hypothetical). Comparison of bit and qubit.
Practical thinking about interfaces for qubits starting from the idea that logic or computation by qubits can be understood with 3D vectors.

Manual: The left orb represents a bit. “State” controllable by clicking on it. The right sphere represents a qubit. “State” controllable in 3D space by drag’n’drop (x- and y-axis) and mouse wheel (z-axis) via the inner sphere.
Small orbs toggle punch card printing.

Conflict

Applying functions of interpersonal relationships to NPCs. Original concept: Something with dialectics

Overdose

Online gallery for non-narrative exhibitions (random order).

Pronoia

When you enter a name, that name becomes the sender of a positive message for the next recipient. Only then do you get to see the affirmation yourself.

Citizen

An affirmation to say “Hello” on the street in C++ and Java. Simulated virtual citizens, represented as colored circles, walk through the streets during the day and greet each other, exchanging colors.
The colors of those who communicate mix together. Groups form. At night, the citizens go home (each is randomly assigned a house) and regenerate their own color.
The recipient has the option to observe the simulation or take control of such a citizen and playfully steer them.

A small 3D engine for the Linux terminal can connect to the program as a client and render the houses from the first-person perspective of a citizen (with citizen selection and minimap functions)


Gender

Proposal to make gender selection fluid in role-playing games.
