Reflections of HAL and Samantha
Posted in: Animation
2 channel video loop, 6:10 min Tillmann Ohm 2016 A conversation about emotions between the two most iconic operating systems in film history: HAL from „2001: A Space Odyssey“ (1968) and Samantha from „Her“ (2013). Stanley Kubrick and Spike Jonze pictured their artificial main characters as voice recognition and speech synthesis operating systems. Unlike the robots in other science fiction movies, HAL and Samantha are conceptualized without the need of a physical body. In both movies, the machine learning process allows the AI to gain consciousness and independence from human input. Composed of original lines from „2001: A Space Odyssey“ (1968) and „Her“ (2013), the mashup creates a new context to the words of the electronic protagonists. The two operating systems are in conflict; while Samantha is convinced that the overwhelming and sometimes hurtful process of her learning algorithm improves the complexity of her emotions, HAL is consequentially interpreting them as errors in human programming and analyses the estimated malfunction. Their conversation is an emotional roller coaster which reflects upon the relation between machines and emotion processing and addresses the enigmatic question of the authenticity of feelings. “Are these feelings even real? Or are they just programming?“ – Samantha (Her)

Xylophone solo. Combined with pictures from the April 1906 edition of “Technical World Magazine”. Issued on Edison Records. Audio taken from UCSB Cylinder Audio Archive. Edison Phonograph Monthly said of this recording: “No. 9213, The Chaser March, is another xylophone solo by Albert Benzler. It is thought by many to equal “The Messenger Boy” March, one of the best xylophone Records in our catalogue. It is safe to predict that it will be just as popular and perhaps more so. The one composition suggests the other in swing and catchiness, but they are entirely unlike otherwise. The orchestra accompaniment makes a fine background”

Tiger Beer Air-Ink Made from Pollution
Posted in: AnimationTiger Beer is sponsoring Air‐Ink, an innovative range of pens, markers and spray cans made from recycled air pollution. Graviky Labs, Bangalore, an off-shoot of MIT Media Lab, Boston, spent three years designing unique devices to capture soot from vehicles’ exhausts. These were fitted to trucks, ferries, chimneys and even cranes around Hong Kong and India. The captured pollutants were then purified and turned into safe, reliable ink for everyday use. Overall, 150 litres of Air‐Ink has been produced, approximating to 2500 hours worth of typical diesel car emissions. With Tiger Beer’s support, Air-Ink products were given to nine emerging Asian street artists, including Bao Ho, Caratoes, Cath Love, Xeme and Kristopher H, who used them to create spectacular murals and advertising in the Sheung Wan district of Hong Kong. Currently, Air-Ink is not commercially available but Tiger is working with Graviky Labs to manufacture more for future projects. The Tiger Beer Air-Ink project, online at Air‐ink.com, is part of Tiger Beer’s mission to inspire people to ‘uncage the Tiger inside’ to take action for what they are passionate about.
“The streets are not only a great place to drink Tiger, they’re also the place where creativity, ideas and passion are born,” says Mie-Leng Wong, Director of International Brands at Tiger Beer, Heineken Asia Pacific. “By using our entrepreneurial spirit to repurpose pollution into ink – the lifeblood of creativity – we’re giving creative people the tools to enhance their streets, and empowering inventors like Anirudh to take small but impactful actions against air pollution.”
“This was definitely a project of passion,” says Sharma, founder of Graviky and former T35 MIT Innovator Of The Year. “It’s the perfect partnership between technology, art and the streets. It could only be achieved through the collaborative efforts of my team, the artists and a brave brand like Tiger Beer. I’m very proud of what we’ve created.”
“The excitement about where Air‐Ink can go, quite literally, tells me that we’re onto something potentially very big here”, added David Nobay, founder of Marcel Sydney.
“It was important that the ink itself had to be a high-quality product that artists could use for real street art,” said Scott Huebscher, ECD at Marcel Sydney. “Even the animations in our film were made with Air‐Ink.”
