Cosmical Interferences: Algorithmic Fate<\/strong>
2024 – 2025 – 2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cosmical Interferences is an immersive light installation investigating the boundaries of free will in the age of algorithmic prediction. The work fuses real-time astronomical data with an AI system that learns audience behaviors in situ, creating a „digital memory of the place” (Genius Loci). Operating as a Learning Athanor, the installation treats the gallery as a sky map and humans as celestial bodies that must be guided onto correct orbits. Here, technology becomes a medium of Digital Hauntology: the past (data from previous days) actively shapes the present, creating the impression of communing with the „spirit” of the machine and the location.

The space is filled with fog, within which two coupled optical systems operate: a number of slow kinetic mirrors controlled by solar wind data (NOAA) creating a cosmic event horizon, and a system of rapid scanning lasers (galvo) connected to depth cameras and a neural network employing Continuous Machine Learning. The installation follows a diurnal cycle: by day, the system tracks viewer movement and draws predictive paths with lasers\u2014luminous trajectories suggesting where one should walk. These predictions are reinterpreted through the current alignment of planets in our solar system: planetary transits modulate the AI’s suggestions, creating a synthesis between machine learning and celestial mechanics. By night, after the gallery closes, the system processes collected data, fine-tuning itself to the architecture and human behaviors in this particular space. With each day of the exhibition, the system becomes more attuned to the site.

Interaction unfolds as prophecy and choice. In solo mode (1-4 people), following the laser line creates resonance: light stabilizes, sound harmonizes. Defying the suggestion triggers a glitch: the system rapidly recalculates, lasers become disharmonious, sound turns dissonant. With larger groups, the system shifts to Constellation Mode, relinquishing individual control for social geometry: lasers connect people with lines, creating living, shifting constellations based on spatial relationships between bodies. Cosmical Interferences is an attempt to reclaim the Technological Sublime\u2014the viewer feels „seen” by a higher-order intelligence possessing memory and intent, where code becomes liturgy connecting human biology, digital memory, and the physics of the universe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
