The Oracle of Akadon Realm (2021)

3-channel interactive wood, video and audio installation.

        
        

In The Oracle of Akadon Realm (2021) the old meets the new in a reconstructed hay fence filled with technological equipment. The installation works almost like a virtual mirror, where the avatars on the middle screen follow the movements of the interacting person.

These mirror avatars also have their own agenda, and the viewer is invited to have a narrated conversation with them about nature, technology, magic, love, God, digitalism and AI, to name a few. The conversations are built on actual conversations that I undertook with an AI chatbot.
