Teenage Machines (wire me softly) – Germany

Teenage Machines (wire me softly) is a video work that explores adolescence as a shared developmental process between humans and machines, situated at the intersection of computer art, poetics, and their histories.

Franziska Ostermann developed the work from notes she took during the Generative Art Summit 2024 in Berlin. She wrote a poem from these notes and transformed it into a multimedia piece.
