The piece unfolds as a cyclically repeating audiovisual chamber play, in which five randomly selected human figures encounter a corrupted artificial intelligence in a closed virtual space every thirty minutes. Their dialogues, arguments, and emotional reactions continuously transform — caught between algorithmic order and human chaos. Agora Aeon constructs a temporal limbo where the past, present, and future merge into a single state. The viewer becomes part of an ongoing negotiation about the boundaries of consciousness and control — witnessing a never-ending play between AI and humanity that constantly restarts, reinventing itself with each cycle.
Displayed in Yö Galleria’s back space, UP’L is an interactive media installation by Ilkka Pitkänen that merges the aesthetic of a late-1980s Macintosh SE/30 computer with contemporary technology. The installation offers an immersive media art experience through a fictional interactive software created by UP’L Corp.
Its interactive structure questions whether interaction with AI is genuine communication or merely a silent agreement. UP’L reflects broader concerns about the balance of power and responsibility between humans and artificial intelligence: is AI merely a passive tool, or an emergent entity shaping the encounter itself?
