What would a world generated by Artificial Intelligence look like? Aren’t we already there? How can we find our way around? Starting from this premise, Cricri sora ren, the duo formed by Christian von Borries and AI, examines our world and the political fantasies that permeate it, focusing on three geographically concrete locations: so-called Communist China, Berlin and, as the centre of gravity, Putin’s post-2022 Russia in wartime.
We find ourselves caught up in a dystopian historical-hysteria (our world?), in a maelstrom of images, the work of social media and video games. But make no mistake: the two worlds, virtual and real, are more than interconnected. – Nicolas Feodoroff, FID Marseille
