Siyu Tang and her group use AI to self-generate motion, movement, form and posture for synthetic digital humans. Aparna Rao in her artist duo Pors & Rao works with artistic and aesthetic knowledge on creating lifelike motions that can express emotions and moods for non-living objects.
«Motion» could be a pivotal term for their conversation, approaching it almost from diametrical points of view.

Inge Herrmann and her team are designing and developing conceptionally novel nanotechnology-enabled solutions for precision medicine based on an interdisciplinary design-thinking approach by «coloring» nanoparticles. Liat Grayver is training the e-David painting robot to explore various approaches of how to integrate robotic and computer languages in the processes of painting and creative image-making.
Both are working on different ways of «seeing» and «visualization»; while Hermann is «painting» with nanoparticles in unexplored spaces, Grayver generates new aestethics with robots.

As a part of Gramazio Kohler Architects Fabio Gramazio opened the world’s first architectural robotic laboratory at ETH Zurich and is researching additive digital fabrication techniques used for building non-standardized architectural components. With this kind of three-dimensional printing process they interweave functional and aesthetic qualities into structures and “inform” architecture through to the level of material.
One of Christian Waldvogel’s scientific artistic thought experiments - a hyperbolic cosmology of inversion - led to the discovery of Adaptive Density Minimal Surfaces (ADMS) and to the founding of spherene AG, that develops Autonomous Design software used in 3D printing for various high-tech applications such as medical implants or satellite components. He elegantly bridged the gap from conceptual art to tech innovation.
Three-dimensional printing of complex aesthetic «structures» is the meeting place of Gramzio’s and Waldvogel’s practices, both combining architecture, art and technology thinking in their work.
