C.R.E.D.O.

Описание: Cosmic Radio Engine for Delusional Observations

A radio telescope on the roof of the Bundeskunsthalle scans the sky in search of signs of extraterrestrial life. The received raw signals serve as input data for a neural network, which was trained on human theories and ideas of aliens. Now it tries desperately to apply this knowledge and to discover possible messages of other civilizations in the noise of the universe. Mysterious noises resound as the artificial intelligence penetrates deeper and deeper into the alien data, where it finally finds the ultimate proof.
The sound installation revolves around one of the oldest questions of mankind - one that can never be refuted, but will remain unanswered until at some point a positive proof is provided: Are we alone in the universe? After all, the mere absence of evidence is no proof of non-existence. Until then it was and is a question of faith, of convictions and assumptions, on the borderline between reality and fiction, where scientific knowledge and wildest speculations merge.

The installation serves as an interface between earth and heaven, this connection is initialized during a cyper-shamanistic ceremony using VR glases and a human priestess.
