Appropriate Response

Appropriate response by Mario Klingemann (Laatzen, Germany, 1970) is a work that uses artificial intelligence to generate a comprehensible and unique text for each viewer. For the artist, words are the most powerful tool available to us. Thanks to an AI system and through a screen like those that we used to see in airports, the work generates a sentence for each person who kneels in front of it. The prie-dieu brings religious connotations to the work and turns it into a kind of oracle. The German artist uses algorithms and artificial intelligence to explore visual imagination, language, and our increasingly complex relationship with technology.
