CiÖ_Echos

CiÖ is an immersive and interactive experience that explores the theme of mental health through the dystopian world of an emotional AI. A human-machine dialogue unfolds through the sharing of emotions and the discovery of the other.

​

By interconnecting various devices with a conversational application, the artwork gives tangible form to the AI’s emotions through visual environments, lighting, and soundscapes. This multisensory language invites the public into an experience of introspection and intimate, engaging emotional connection.

​

Presented as a multi-site interactive exhibition, CiÖ_Echos unfolds across several physical venues as well as online. This constellation-based setup allows for a fragmented yet connected exploration of the work, with each site revealing a unique facet of CiÖ’s emotional universe.
