+==Project Module: Hallucinating Computers and Dreaming Non-Machines==
+Isabella Lee Arturo, Dr. Mindaugas Gapševičius, Prof. Ursula Damm
 The course wants to stimulate and accompany projects of students dealing with emergent behavior of computers and/or their co-existence with non-machines. Non-machine is a term which has been introduced by Mindaugas Gapsevicius and names all non-technical subjects (humans, animals, plants). It inspires us to look at living things from the perspective of a machine and vice versa.

 More and more research focuses on all the creatures which made human life possible. Millions of years of photosynthesis made it possible for us to live on earth today. The ecological crises show that we have not yet understood our dependence on our ecological embedding. Have we developed the wrong kind of technology? What can the capabilities of contemporary technology contribute to a common, intellectual and spiritual sphere?

+"Probably Chelsea is a collection of thirty different possible portraits of whistleblower Chelsea Manning algorithmically-generated by an analysis of her DNA. While she was in prison, forbidden from being visited, she sent me cheek swabs from which I could extract DNA to create her portrait. Genomic data can tell a multitude of different stories about who and what you are. Probably Chelsea shows just how many ways your DNA can be interpreted as data, and how subjective the act of reading DNA really is."

+"The project ‘Ventriloquist Ontology’ explores the limits of control and points of hybridization between the human and the machine through the relationship of a performer and a wearable entity. This ventriloquist modular soft entity speaks through text generated using a GPT-2 language model, trained on a dataset of texts around biopolitics, algo-governance, the surveillanced body, and queer theory."
