Towards Teleportation—Wayfinding Maps & Mapfinding Ways
GPS apps flatten the world into a 2D map, and then a 1D route optimized for the ultimate elimination of time and space, 0D—effectively, teleportation. The speaker, who designed Waze maps, argues that user-centered-design segmented us into isolated, self-driving boxes going nowhere fast. The answer requires both wayfinding maps & mapfinding ways.
Your GPS app directs you, turn-by-turn, on the quickest route from A to B. At the same time, it also defines time as the single, non-exchangeable currency for evaluating the cost of the journey. To do so, the app flattens the multi-dimensional complexities of the world into a 2-dimensional map, and then further condenses them into a 1-dimensional route, optimized for the ultimate elimination of time and space down to 0-dimensions - effectively, teleportation. The talk highlights teleportation’s depiction in an 80's horror classic, its echoes in the current rush towards automation, and its role in the untimely death of the Waze Carpool service. As an early designer of Waze maps, the speaker argues that user-centered-design has segmented us into isolated, self-driving boxes going nowhere fast. The answer, he posits, may be found in a return to mapping, not as a replacement for the territory, but as an ongoing collaborative process for sensing our paths forward and navigating our every turn-by-turn towards better futures.

How do our bodies become-with invisible molecules, whose boundaries blur between natural and synthetic? This installation is the result of the workshop, "Worlding with the Molecular" where participants extract hormones from their own urine and build a scenography that embodies the very agency of molecules.

KI entdecken: Kann ein Roboter mit deiner Hilfe besser Minigolf spielen? Und wie gut kommst du mit einer KI klar, von der du gar nicht weißt, was sie tut? Im Sonderforschungsbereich/Transregio 318 „Constructing Explainability“ erforschen wir, wie wir die Mensch-Maschine-Interaktion mit Erklärungen verbessern können – und du kannst uns unterstützen.

Money Talks is an installation that lifts the curtain on our power dynamics and financial relationships with speech recognition AI. Talk to this AI in order to understand not only what it hears, but the inner workings we never get to see. How has it interpreted you? How confident is it? What are the true costs?
