Latent Being is a meditation on the convergence of AI, urban history, and collective memory. Composed of four chapters, Anadol’s installation turns the space into a temporary ecosystem. The city, the architecture and the visitors all become players in the performance. The audience find themselves walking through a dynamic ocean of Berlin-related digital visual and sonic memories, and light and fog sculptures – abstract representations of the machine’s neural networks. The machine learns about the elements that make up the building’s physical form, not just its structure, but also the life inside it; visitors are observed, and become physically connected to the artificial thinking process. Eventually, the constant data input – representations of movement, social interactions and space – gets transformed into a hallucinogenic large-scale LED screen painting.
