Building up on the latest research and developments for Abstract Language Model, this work explores the concept of an Universal Interface, the artistic approach for the connecting element for a trans-machine / trans-human language. It pursues the idea of a synthesis on a physical level with an already shared concept of a language model (semiotic system) which makes transformations (translations) — and also the inherent loss of information in this process — of communication obsolete. Therefore, the performance Universal Interface has a synchronized, sculptural-interactive element which connects the audio-visual depiction with the physical-tangible space and vice versa.
Universal Interface was developed during a residency at Medialab Matadero and realized in collaboration with LEV Festival.
