_An AI-Installation with Damian Marhulets
concert series by hand werk
July 5_2025_8pm_Alte Feuerwache, Melchiorstraße 3, 50670 Köln

Composer Damian Marhulets has been working in the field of AI for several years and came up with the design of virtual spaces during a conversation with an intelligence that lasted several days. The rooms (or disturbing RAUME) are captured as video stills, but there is always slight movement, whether it is daylight or artificially created changes that make us believe in reality and real time - a ceiling moves slightly, a fan moves slowly, or the viewing angle shifts gradually. These seemingly dystopian, yet forward-looking images are instantly captivating and at the same time provide a wonderful basis for a video concert.
