The group exhibition SWARM shows works by ten artists, some of which are being shown in Berlin or Germany for the first time. In the works created for the exhibition, they explore how the intelligence of the community shapes our everyday lives. Swarm intelligence not only enters our lives as the omnipresent AI of today: we have always encountered it, for example as language, ideology or in the animal kingdom. However, we are neither aware of collective intelligence in everyday processes nor of the outdated structures that we reproduce when we make supposedly individual decisions.
The exhibition is installed in the outdoor area of the summer pool: On the green area, at the edge of the pool or in front of the kiosk building, visitors to the pool encounter outdoor sculptures and (sound) installations created for the location, such as a megabrain changing room, sci-fi seesaws or sky puddles.
SWARM invites the audience to experiment and act as a swarm. The aim is also to uncover how dangerous processes have crept into our everyday lives, what role the swarm plays in nature and how we can utilise the intelligence of the community for our own purposes.
The exhibition will be accompanied by a series of performances, concerts, talks and sporting events.
