Artists Philipp Schmitt, Anina Rubin and Dr. Felipe Orduña Bustamente joined a conversation with Kay Matschullat (Media Art Xploration) about their collaboration on the sound installation I Am Sitting in a High-Dimensional Room.

In I Am Sitting In A High-Dimensional Room, the artists leave the physical world behind. Narrated by a neural-network-synthesized voice and performed in a high-dimensional room simulation by Dr. Felipe Orduña Bustamante, the piece offers a sonic experience of an invisible, unimaginable space. As high- dimensional, mathematical spaces underpin, for example, artificially-intelligent neural networks, the work alludes to dematerialization and abstraction in contemporary science and technology, as well as the virtualization of culture during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The work was commissioned by 1014 Inc. and co-presented with Media Art Xploration.
