Conceived by Chiharu Koda and JeongHo Park, the hands-on exhibition Imaginat invites visitors to create their own compositions on a table – using wooden sticks, colorful paper shapes, rubber tubes, and 3D-printed elements. An artificial intelligence system recognizes each arrangement, transforms it into a river-like image – trained on photographs by Koda, including images of the Rhine and other rivers – and projects it live onto the wall. In this way, a collective, interactive artwork emerges.
The exhibition explores how images can bring together Karlsruhe’s past and future, and how analogue materials and digital technologies can merge in imaginative and creative ways.
Opening: Friday, August 1 at 7 p.m.
Participate: Friday, August 1 from 7 to 11 p.m. and Saturday, August 2 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
