IKEA - A never ending (fever) dream? AI-generated music video for the IKEA food section. 2024

Carlotta Heiter, Emilia Langkafel, Annika Muth, Can-Luca Kuhlenschmidt (GWK BA2)

In ‘IKEA - A Never Ending (Fever) Dream?’, we immerse ourselves in the nocturnal visions of a girl who loses herself in IKEA's digital food court. Her reality is an empty fridge that catapults her into a dreamy journey. The feverish kaleidoscope of iconic IKEA delicacies such as hot dogs, Köttbullar and cinnamon buns become the main characters in a surreal choreography that beguiles the senses and sends the mind into ecstasy. Because IKEA not only offers furniture, but also goes through the stomach.

Hermes? The brand? No, not the one from Paris, but the one with the mostly rushed young men in blue overalls. The parcel carriers who are always late and usually in a bad mood. What do we actually know about them? Who are they anyway? And what keeps them busy? A speculation.

SCUM Kollektiv. Sound and image exhibition. 2024

Zora Brunath, Lina Fischer, Ben Korte, Louisa Schindelin 

(GWK MA)

What do 'Prince Jumping Jack', 'the mouse catcher from Hinge' and 'Captain Cock' have in common? They all make an appearance on the new concept album by the FLINTA* collective SCUM. And one thing's for sure... they don't come off well. Snotty and loud, the SCUM collective draws attention to grievances, assault and dating fails in a humorous way. Somewhere between “Neue Deutsche Welle”, techno and punk - but always right in your face. Accompanied by mixed-media collages, an exhibition concept has been created that shows that the P in Prompting does not stand for patriarchy. But can AI really be feminist? Find out for yourself on the tour.

AI songs against the AfD. 2024

********************

(GWK MA)

Can we counter the AfD with AI-generated music as part of the activist #ReclaimTikTok movement? Since the racist reinterpretation of Gigi D'Agostino's ‘L'Amour toujours’ and the numerous musical responses to the so-called ‘Sylt Song’, we wanted to take the idea further and generate a positive response with anti-AfD songs on TikTok. This resulted in a NoAfD European Championship song and an ‘Alternative Summer Fairy Tale’, which was also published by the Centre for Political Beauty and has been viewed almost 300,000 times.
