Artificial Souls No°3 - Seeking propinquity
Artificial Souls is an ongoing series of devices which are created to spend their whole life in a programmed loop.
The “Seeking propinquity” Souls seek the closeness of humans. However, they are incomplete machines and thus cannot physically move towards their desires.
As a result they try to communicate their want for closeness through their animated “light-language”.
Their surface is skin like as they want to be touched and re-enact nature to question our own nature.
We, as humans, share our rooms constantly with multiple devices which have augmented artificial sensing modalities.
The information of all our input feeds a vast void which, eventually, will lead to the birth of AI.
The “Seeking Propinquity” Souls portray the state of a known and predictable reality rippling into something we cannot yet imagine
and it wants us to question if we could have empathy for it.

Artificial Souls No°2 - Sound translator
Artificial Souls is an ongoing series of devices which are created to spend their whole life in a programmed loop.
The "Sound translator" Soul translates sound frequencies into light frequencies, which it maps via fourier transformation. Its realtime reaction wants humans to interact with it musically.
Inspired by mushrooms structures its design shows its nature lying between organic and technic.
