What happens when humans and machines start to feel each other’s language?⁠ Is the computer the modern day performance artist? What is VJing and can it be seen as art?


In this episode Viktor Vandervelde enters the world of QR codes. Spoken by machines and integrated by humans, the QR code is an artefact of a new language. In conversation with by artist and coder Yuxi Cao (James) and sound artist Lau Hiu Kong (Lawrence), the creators of < 多維采樣 | Dimensional Sampling >, explore how they visualised a language that can only be read by machines/scanners - QR codes, they further talk about communication with and through the machine and the philosophical questions surrounding the human machine symbiosis evolving during live video performances.


With special guests: Merel van Helsdingen, Rafael Lozano-Hemmer and Heleen Blanken
