Description: Studio Pointer* (Asya Sukhorukova & Jakob Schlötter) creates media art and interactive installations. Currently their work "Walking with Unimals", which was created in 2019 for the Cinekid festival in Amsterdam, is situated at the project space of See Lab, which Asya and Jakob are members of.
""Walking with Unimals" (2019) is an ever-evolving digital ecosystem populated by fantastic creatures, which live, die and reproduce with the help of Generative Adversarial Networks. Consisting of multiple different universes and inhabited by crossbreeds of animated gifs found on the Internet, it is a world in which the evolution process is unpredictable and never-ending. Initially enclosed and inhabited by a specific family of creatures, the universes can be connected with cables which allow the unimals to migrate, meet foreign species as well as protect their own kinds from extinction by mating with their new encounters.
