This fills me with an ache I can’t explain. I want to be this and have the time to be this.
Artists Benjamin Maus and Prokop Bartoníček have long been interested in industrial automation and its effects on society. They wondered if they could create a piece that was simultaneously technically impressive and functionally useless.
The result is Jller, an installation that Bartoníček describes as a “very complex machine that’s doing nothing very special.” Jller’s main task is sorting pebbles from the Iller river into neat, organized rows. It’s able to do this by using machine learning, computer vision, and an industrial-grade vacuum-gripper.

대형 스마일리 페이스(Smiley Face)가 베를린 시민의 기분을 나타낸다. 얼굴인식 기술을 사용하여 사람들의 감정을 실시간으로 분석하고 평균화 한 뒤, 스마일리 페이스 구조물로 표현하였다.
얼굴검출, 얼굴인식은 인공지능에 속하는 기술로 컴퓨터가 인간의 얼굴을 자동으로 인식하고, 나이, 인종, 성별, 감정 등의 정보까지 분석하는 것이다. 1970년대에 처음 개발되었고 현재에는 속도와 정확도가 향상되어 생체인식, 감시 카메라, 이미지 미디어 관리 등 여러 분야에 활용되고 있다.
2000년대 초반부터 예술가들은 이 기술의 다양한 측면을 탐구하기 시작했다. 초기에는 기술의 활용측면에 집중한 반면, 최근에는 이 기술의 사회적 의미도 다루기 시작하고 있다. 이 작품은 전자에 속한다고 볼 수 있다.

The “Fühlometer” (Feelometer) or “Public Face” is a reactive art installation which measures the average mood of the people in a city or a specific place, publicly representing this mood in the form of a monumental smiley.

Perpetual Storytelling Apparatus
Julius von Bismarck & Benjamin Maus Berlin, 2008
The "Perpetual Storytelling Apparatus" is a drawing machine illustrating a never-ending story by the use of patent drawings.
The machine translates words of a text into patent drawings. Seven million patents - linked by over 22 million references - form the vocabulary. By using references to earlier patents, it is possible to find paths between arbitrary patents. They form a kind of subtext.
New visual connections and narrative layers emerge through the interweaving of the story with the depiction of technical developments.

Super interesting project about generalizing the happiness or sadness in a city!
Feel-O-Meter
Fuehlometer or Feel-O-Meter is a public art installation in germany by Richard Wilhelmer in collaboration with Julius Von Bismarck and Benjamin Maus
A digital camera along the lake captures the faces of passersby, which are then analyzed by a computer program and classified as either happy, sad, or indifferent. The cumulative results determine the expression of the sculpture, whose mouth and eyes shift accordingly via a system of automated motors.
