Andreas Muxel, Judith Dörrenbächer, Alessandro Mac-Nelly
This edition of LOOPS gathers three perspectives on how emerging technologies, particularly AI, robotics, and synthetic interfaces, are reshaping human interaction, pedagogical contexts, and our imagination of life with machines.
With a background in interaction design and techno-animism, Judith Dörrenbächer explores how alternative ontologies can inform human-computer interaction, proposing animist approaches to the design of social robots. Andreas Muxel brings a material and speculative angle through his work on hybrid artifacts and physical human-machine interfaces, drawing from his experience in design research and education. Alessandro Mac-Nelly, working between architecture, AI, and critical machine aesthetics, will present recent experiments and reflections from his artistic-research practice, including his work with Algorithmic Cultural Vandalism.
Together, the three speakers will discuss modes of designing and understanding machines not as neutral tools, but as cultural actors, entities that shape and reflect our behaviors, desires, and educational paradigms.
The conversation is open to the public and encourages direct audience engagement. As always, the evening will close informally at the New Practice bar with drinks, music, and the chance to meet the speakers and community in a relaxed setting.
The event will be held in person and streamed live on udk.stream, YouTube, and Instagram Live.
