This data sculpture, projected onto the north facade of the building, is based on extensive image and sound datasets of the Pinakothek der Moderne provided by its four museums of art, graphics, architecture and design as well as its cooperation partners.
Refik Anadol and his team supplement these sources with further publicly available data from digital archives in the context of the Pinakothek der Moderne.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n

At the very beginning of his career Refik Anadol made a trip to Munich to photograph motifs in the city. As he himself has said, his focus was on the Pinakothek der Moderne, of which he took numerous photographs. These photographs, of course, have since become part of the pool of data for his new works as well. Seen in this light, things have come full circle.
The data has been processed using artificial intelligence in such a way that its original appearance is now unrecognisable, with its component parts having mutated to form new links.
With the help of data-based, machine learning algorithms, the flat projection continuously generates new, seemingly three-dimensional spaces. Different arrangements with ever-changing colour constellations and patterns are constantly created from the data to a random rhythm. Abstract images develop from moving lines, surfaces, waves or vortices that, through their dynamics, seem to dissolve the wall, causing a suction effect.
Refik Anadol wants to set visitors in a state of immersion, transcending traditional boundaries of observation and expanding perception. The dichotomy between surface and space, reality and fiction, physis and virtuality is dissolved.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t<\/content-reveal>\n\n\t\t
