Quadrature
Quadrature uses technology as a means to read and write realities, using data as primary artistic material. The Berlin-based artists use transdisciplinary media to create artworks that not only capture the intersection between art and science, but also the convergence of digital and analog. The two members of the group, Juliane Götz and Sebastian Neitsch, met during their studies, in 2015 they started their artistic collaboration. Their work is shown worldwide in various museums, galleries and festivals.
SCOPE
SCOPE - Space Craft Oracle for Personal Enlightenment
A new divinatory science for a new future.
Since the dawn of humanity, we have gazed upon the celestial canvas above, seeking meaning in the starry night skies. One of the earliest sciences was the study of the stars - astrologers interpreted astronomical constellations and thus predicted the future of individuals and entire peoples. Although astrology has since been degraded to a pseudoscience, the popularity and fascination of horoscopes seems unbroken.
The sky itself, however, has changed a lot in the last 60 years. The ancient orbits of the planets and stars have been joined by thousands of man-made objects - more than 7000 satellites currently orbit the Earth (as well as several tens of thousands of junk particles), many more are about to come.
If the course of the distant celestial bodies is supposed to influence us - surely these very close, new celestial bodies should also have an impact on human destinies? For their presence does indeed have a strong impact on human life, and few things have changed our everyday lives as much as the possibilities offered by space technology...
The positions of satellites can be easily determined for any point in time in the past. This satellite chart will be interpreted by artificial intelligence, automatically generating a unique horoscope based on the time of ones birth.
Objective data merge with subjective truths. From human hubris and human longing for meaning, a new prophetic technique emerges: personalised, hyper-speculative space craft based astrology.
We have created a new sky. Now the sky recreates us.
