About this Event
Big cities like Berlin act as catalysts for loneliness. In the post-AI era, technology begins to substitute intimate relationships, with AI taking on the role of friends and partners.
As a result, real, face-to-face human connection becomes a conscious and meaningful choice — one that requires effort and genuine vulnerability.
Sharing something deeply personal, intimate, strange, or simply “too much” with another person is increasingly tied to risk — the possibility of rejection, ridicule, or having one’s most sensitive areas exposed, without any assurance that such openness will be met with care. AI, by contrast, seems to offer that guarantee — creating an illusion of closeness that does not require true exposure, reinforcing a growing dependence on AI not just as a tool, but within the realm of human relationships.
In dialogue with AI, we can drop all filters and conventions, without concern for how the receiving side might feel.
But what happens when this raw stream of consciousness is seen by real people?
The project invited participants to anonymously submit personal diary entries originally addressed to AI: deeply personal questions, confessions, doubts, moments of crisis or reflection they have not felt ready to share with another person. All submissions are anonymous and treated as fragile material.
Seven selected artists reimagined a curated selection of these diary entries through visual works, given complete creative freedom.
Each of the artists reinterpreted the themes and anonymous materials through their own medium and manner, approaching them from their individual perspective, and they also came together to create one collective work, inviting us to reflect and search for our own answers to a set of questions:
What is it, exactly, that stands behind the desire to receive AI feedback on how we are perceived by others?
Is it possible to learn how to relate to other people through a kind of “training” dialogue with AI?
Does engaging in conversation with AI help us come to know ourselves more deeply, or does it, on the contrary, lead us away from our own individuality?
And most importantly: which functions, in the fabric of our everyday lives, can AI genuinely take on?
