United States – A new audiovisual installation by fuse* art studio
fuse* collaborates with ARTECHOUSE once again for a new commission: Trust, a data driven, audiovisual installation that elaborates on the multiple meanings and implications of the concept of trust.
This new immersive exhibition opened in ARTECHOUSE’s New York space on last January 31 and will run until May 30.
On a broad level, through data examination Trust observes how historical events have influenced trust and considers how this can evolve in the future. More specifically, it further uses the data points to examine how the presence or absence of trust can shift the perception of our individual realities.
Using historical and current indicators of trust in our society, such as historical news and economic indexes, fuse* analyses and artistically translates the levels of this feeling into visuals.
The exhibition delves into a conceptual timeline and takes the viewer through three ‘chapters’: Past, based on a historical data archive; Present, using data that is constantly processed to create ever-changing art; and Future, from predictions of trust moving forward.
In order to predict future levels of trust, fuse* trained a recurrent neural network (RNN) to make forecasts. The work is then brought to life using ARTECHOUSE’s presentation ecosystem composed of high-resolution projection, hyperreal immersive sound technology and custom-made software, created to support creative experimentation of today’s artists.
