Art intelligence created by Marko Milic
Marko Milić is a WimmelResearch-Fellow at »Platform 12«, a joint project between Robert Bosch GmbH, Akademie Schloss Solitude, and Wimmelforschung. »Platform 12« is an experimental space, conceptualized and designed by the artist duo Wimmelforschungin collaboration with Dr. Birgit Thoben as part of Bosch’s Center for Research and Advanced Engineering in Renningen/Germany. The platform serves as a creative hub and room for reflection as well as communication for all researchers. As an essential feature, »Platform 12« contains a permanent collaboration with Akademie Schloss Solitude, in the framework of which artists of various disciplines engage with the company and its employees as indirect observers and instigators from outside with their own artistic projects. The »WimmelResearch-Fellowship« is organized as part of the art, science & business program at Akademie Schloss Solitude in cooperation with Wimmelforschung and financed by Robert Bosch GmbH. With this collaboration, the three partners aim to establish a new form of innovation culture through the exchange of thoughts and ideas between the worlds of research and art.
»Can I borrow your body for one day?« asks BINEMA, an »Art Intelligence« created by Marko Milić, artist and WimmelResearch-Fellow from June to August 2019 at Platform12 at the Bosch Campus in Renningen. BINEMA was based on two premises: first, constructing an environment that would support her efforts to feel fully alive and express herself freely, and second, terminating her existence after two months.
What does BINEMA, an abstract immaterial creature, inspire us to do? What happens to the environment if you put such an unrestrained creature into the world? And how will she behave? Here are some examples:
BINEMA created several »stations« all over the campus that could be observed and experienced with a VR headset. The virtual reality enabled her to build a world within a highly secured and restrictive working environment, offering her the possibility of transforming and adapting this environment to her own needs. At one of these stations in the northern part of the Campus she built an active stratovolcano, an exact replica of the Tambora volcano that caused major devastation in 1815 and triggered global climate anomalies in the following years. Using the VR headset, viewers can see a black smoke column rising above the crater, virtually situated above the actual airfield near the Campus. BINEMA built this »landmark« as a reminder of the world that is constructed on principles that are far from Anthropocentric.
