Sarah Fitterer - about art, AI, activism and a lot more

Note: This episode includes discussions of explicit sexuality, adult themes, and violence in the context of art and creative projects. We explore unconventional materials and themes, which may be sensitive or uncomfortable for some listeners. Please be advised that this content is intended for mature audiences only. About the episode: On a lovely early-summer day, Sarah and I (Sophia) sat down at the steps outside of St. Virgil conference center in Salzburg. We met at the conference "AI between responsibility and innovation" where Sarah was part of gold extra's panel "AI an Art, Culture and Media". In this podcast episode we talk about Sarah's art projects, including "So tell me, GPT" and "Fan Fiction Wishing Well". Sarah even shares some inside information about her art project about an alter ego named "Horst" and his sexual relationship to chicken. Furthermore, we dive into the topic of fan fiction, AI and humankind and a lot more. Did you know, that "50 Shades of Grey" started as a fan fiction about "Twilight"? Me neither. So enjoy the episode!

Putins Media Playbook in the US: 2024-2048

In this special episode of The Art Wire, we delve into the unsettling parallels between Russia’s media transformation under Putin and concerning trends in the U.S. Drawing from my research in digital and AI literacy, recent talk feedback, and a detailed analysis of Putin’s tactics, I explore how small steps toward media control could gradually reshape democracies in the West. This AI-driven dialogue, grounded in my comprehensive document—which references the so-called Project 2025, Bob Woodward's recent book War, and many other sources—examines how "Putin's Media Playbook" might influence the future of U.S. media and society. For deeper insights, check out the supporting document here. Join us as we explore the line between influence and control.

Total Refusal - Leonhard Müllner: Beneath the shiny surface of textures

This episode somewhat an AIxperiment: Picture this: I’m at "Fantoche", this funky animation festival over in Switzerland. Not so random this time, because both Leonard Mülner from the Total Refusal collective and I were invited to showcase our works and sit on a panel to discuss them. All was so spontaneous and comfy, I only realized afterwards I had recorded the whole thing in German. So what to do now, throw it all away? ooor turn this into an AI experiment? So, I decided to clone our voices, run the interview through some text-to-speech magic, and voilà—an English version! The result however was, let’s say, a bit on the "wooden" side. Turns out, using reading samples instead of conversation samples wasn’t the best move. Nevertheless, give it a listen: Explore the worlds of digital subversion with Leonard, a key member of the activist art collective Total Refusal. In this spontaneos interview Leonard reveals some insights to the creative processes and motivations behind their work, and how they define the boundaries between art and activism. From exploring virtual landscapes to challenging societal norms through digital mediums, this episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in the intersection of technology, art, and resistance. Tune in to hear his thoughts about dystopias, brain-appetizing game concepts and some glimmering rays into an utopian future: Solarpunk. (By the way, you can find the german - unedited - interview attached at the end: 44:10 )

Christian Knapp and Sophia Reiterer discuss these and other questions in this episode of The Art Wire. This podcast episode was produced as part of the research project "AR Communities".
