Transits


The piece, currently on view at the House of Electronic Arts in Basel, was created by Ursula Damm and Martin Schneider, two artists with long histories of creating work that refracts reality through cutting-edge science and technology. For Transits, the duo wanted to explore how a video could be transformed with a custom-built neural network–a model that creates a complex, unpredictable relationship between the data feeding into the system and that coming out of it. Damm was responsible for the concept, and Schneider built the code.
