Retrospective: “UNRUHIG BLEIBEN”
AI as Audiovisual Mutiny: A Revolution of Care at C-Hub.
Amidst this vibrant atmosphere of technological renewal, I had the honor of sharing my latest vision with a captivated audience. It was a profound evening that demonstrated how innovation goes far beyond technical optimization—it is a tool for liberation.
The Project: High-End Aesthetics Meet Radical Healing
“UNRUHIG BLEIBEN” (Stay Unsettled) is more than just an installation; it is an invitation to leave the clinical rigidity of modernity behind. In 26 cinematic sequences, the project dissects the structures of male dominance and counters them with a new ethics of connectivity. Drawing from the works of pioneering thinkers such as Simone de Beauvoir, Silvia Federici, and Donna Haraway, the work calls upon women to reclaim their biological and psychological self-determination.
While the AI business is often dominated by lifeless stock aesthetics or purely commercial formats, this work demonstrates what is possible when technology meets a radical concept. The fact that the room remained filled until the very end proves one thing: We are hungry for content with a “soul” and genuine relevance.
Technology as a Political Act
We must prevent the world of AI from becoming a purely male domain that pours outdated hierarchies into algorithms. We need the female perspective in programming our future; otherwise, we are simply hard-coding subordination. Healing is political—and the occupation of technological spaces by women is an existential necessity today.
Gratitude to the Network
The media response from SWR and IT BOLTWISE magazine confirms the urgency of this discourse. My heartfelt thanks go to Niko Hoffmeister for the invitation, as well as the teams at NEXT MANNHEIM and SOS Medien. A special thank you goes to Kathrin Krämer for her incredible support and to PORT25 for providing the paper and ink.
Mannheim proves once again to be a powerhouse of innovation. Networks like GIG7 emphasize the pioneering role of Baden-Württemberg in consistently bringing together creativity and a true “maker” spirit for female founders.
We do not heal alone. We heal in the “We.”
