On July 1st at 18:00, the opening of the exhibition “Colorful Noise” by Victor Giers will take place at the Pop-Up Store in Buhlgässle. The exhibition features “Glitch Art”. “Glitch” is a programming error, so to speak, a false statement of a logical circuit. Giers intentionally induces such errors in digital image representation to distort given images in such a way that completely new images emerge. The result is colorful, abstract textures, which are presented and offered in the form of limited art prints on high-quality synthetic paper. Also on display is Real-Time Rendering, the calculation of such images in real-time, projected on canvas. It is also possible to bring your own digital images to have them manipulated by the artist on-site. Ambient electronic music will be played. The exhibition runs until July 17th and is open daily from 10:00 to 18:00. For more information: www.victorgiers.de
Allez Allez - HBKsaar Graduates - Exhibition 2019
Three works on the theme “Artificial Intelligence”, virtual humanoids and associated misunderstandings, presented in a spatial installation with a desk situation.
Recipients read a brochure about the work results at the desk (Link to the text). Meanwhile, their faces were automatically photographed and projected onto canvases around them. A visual “echo chamber” was created by the surroundings of their own face. “Forgetting” was not allowed; the faces remained on the canvases until they were overwritten by new faces, leaving one’s own face behind when leaving the scene.
The reactions to the capturing and displaying of one’s own face varied from anger over “surveillance” and non-compliance with data protection regulations to joy over the possibility of taking selfies or the feeling of improving the reading situation by being able to view one’s own face.
Next to it, a puppet as a parody of the over-interpretation of “artificial intelligence” capabilities. Two servomotors, built into a black box, move a marionette at unpredictable, temporal intervals. Stickers are affixed to the black box, representing the hype around the topic “AI”: quotes from “The Matrix”, a Terminator and an Elon Musk head, Hal 9000, etc. Some recipients imitated the puppet’s movements and were pleased with the learning effect they experienced, while others were creeped out.

At the invitation of the German Newspaper Museum, a student working group from the University of Fine Arts began in spring 2016 to deal with the magazine “Schacht und Heim”, the work newspaper of Saarbergwerke.
In a 270° screen chamber in the exhibition “Schacht und Heim”, the virtual “shaft ride”, the 3D renderings from our studio, were presented.
