To make this complex data comprehensible and visually appealing, we employed Auto Encoders and PCA (Principal Component Analysis) to translate the data into a format perceivable by the human eye. Auto Encoders, a machine learning approach, excel in condensing higher-dimensional data into more manageable lower dimensions. Once the data was reduced to three dimensions, we used the tSNE (t-Distributed Stochastic Neighbor Embedding) algorithm to reveal hidden clusters within the data.

Ouchhh studio, a forerunner in the realm of data-driven art, AI, and machine intelligence, adopts a mind-driven methodology to explore innovative technological avenues. Our vision encompasses a fascination with the secret codes of cosmic, multidimensional hybrid universes shaped by AI, transcending physical and architectural limits. Our aspiration is to create a futuristic perspective that reflects a myriad of contexts and experiences, harnessing the power of AI to redefine the boundaries of art and technology.

“Spaceman Shine” embodies the essence of transformation, adventure, and the mysteries of the unknown, all while being closely intertwined with Nature, depicted as the enduring, unshakeable force in life.
Among his contemporaries, Filippo Tincolini is renowned for his visionary approach. His works often suggest a futuristic fusion where nature and science meld together in a strikingly imaginative manner. The spaceman sculpture, in particular, with its Candy Fuchsia chrome finish, heralds a new pop era, symbolizing the evolving dynamics between humanity and Nature. This piece not only showcases Tincolini’s artistic prowess but also reflects a deeper narrative on the relationship between humans and the natural world.

In her project “Beyond Performance”, Trenda combines artificial intelligence, using the Midjourney AI application, with her performance archives to create digital-only performances. These performances challenge traditional views of the body in art, blurring the lines between reality and fiction and exploring identity in simulated experiences.
Her series “Loss of Touch I and II” highlights AI’s difficulty in depicting human hands, symbolizing the impact of technology on the decline of handmade art and the diminishing human connection to tactile creation.
Trenda’s influence extends globally, with performances at renowned venues like The Broad Museum in Los Angeles, Art Center Nabi in South Korea, and events like ARS Electronica in Austria.

The Spanish sculpting duo Coderch & Malavia, who have gained worldwide acclaim, masterfully blended antiquity and modernity in their sculptures. Unlike some of their contemporaries who replicated classical models, their brilliance lay in creating original forms. They skillfully molded their materials before immortalizing them in bronze, creating sculptures of exceptional beauty. Their works strikingly captured the truth and movement of the human body, with gestures portrayed in perfect harmony. The sculptures conveyed a sense of ethereal lightness, particularly in female forms and muses, depicted as if gracefully moving through water or joyously suspended in mid-air, encapsulating a timeless moment.

In the exhibition space, twenty-five 50 x 70-inch screens were arranged in an S-curve formation, allowing visitors to wander among them and view the interplay of images from various angles. The transparent nature of the screens enabled the figures to overlap, creating a layered visual effect. The screens, alternating between pink and yellow, were mounted on custom welded structures for stability and upright display, enhancing the overall interactive experience of the installation.
