weltmuseum object chain
october 2nd 2026
from bottlecap to “sechsteiliger spangenhelm”, because it is both made from metal and it both is a form of protection.
from the helmet to the tripod, because a helmet turned upside down also functions as a vessel, as the tripod does.
from the tripod to the “Dechsel”, because ceramics come from earth and stone, and the stone is the part of the Dechsel that makes it functional.
from “Dechsel” to the necklace, because for both of these objects, thread is the connecting part, holding everything together and preventing it to fall apart.

prepare and bring
october 1st 2026
both of my grandmas do not have a uterus anymore – so i brought a menstrual cup, as a symbol for menstruation and the menstrual cycle.
menstrual products, are part of every situation but always remain hidden – the same goes for menstruation itself, which is still handled with disgust and as a tabu.
i want to take this disgust and turn it into something beautiful and powerful, shown openly rather than remaining hidden.
after all, menstruation and the menstrual cycle is what makes life possible, it is very powerful.
i hope for a future, where it is no longer seen as something to be ashamed of an to be hidden, and that this disgust and shame menstruating people are confronted with today, will be the hardest part to explain. -

good news to start with
meeting with Dieroff was really successful
preparing the metal frame
flexing off the unnecessary stuff
planning the panels
will the panels fit into our frame?
dumpster-diving for cardboard…
…so we could continue…
building more models
to see if the panels fit and to figure out the five star base
(ai – visualization of five star base)
finished cardboard model
rhino sketches
working with the shaper
working on the metal frame
kitting, flexing, cleaning
cutting out panels with the jigsaw
what it looks like now
Logos
tilting mechanism
too hard to do for us (in the remaining time given)
possibly doable but would take a lot of time we might not have
most doable option – decorative wood elements
colours
the palette
night black

tutorial november 28th
Recap of Concept
In a future shaped by AI-generated intimacy, people rely on synthetic warmth that feels comforting but ultimately hollow. A narrator grows increasingly unsettled by Models that mimic affection through borrowed fragments of online desire. While most accept this artificial closeness without question, the narrator begins craving real imperfection, hesitation, and vulnerability. The search for genuine connection reveals how demanding and fragile true intimacy becomes when contrasted with the optimized ease of AI. At its core, the story follows someone who refuses to give up on the kind of human warmth that cannot be engineered.
What is the Echochamber?
Talking about Script
Male Protagonist → because of of the faulty data training set
Building a routine = showing what the echochamber is, and how it shapes our world as well digital intimacy
Breaking the routine = breaking out of the echochamber and embracing real human closeness and intimacy
Experiments
Experiment: Instagram – Accounts for AI-Personas: every Team member created 2 Instagram accounts for 2 imaginary Personas, created by AI. We are texting each other without anyone knowing who’s who. The texts are written by ChatGPT roleplaying each persona. This is a try on simulating the Echochamber.Â
