The jury honours Alejandro Radawski for his multilingual project Something in the way they look on me. The author, film director and theatre maker uses all available aesthetic approaches to sharpen our perceptions of time, space and identity.
The planned interactive website is intended to use artistic intelligence to give Bremen's historical buildings, museums, cultural institutions and parks ‘personality’ and bring them into a new, reflective ‘dialogue’ with residents and guests of the city.
Video clips, short dialogues and sounds interact with people of different age groups and perspectives, making the different approaches transparent and comprehensible.
The jury was not only impressed by the experimental use of artificial intelligence, but also by the idea that the platform developed can be expanded as part of the UNESCO Cities of Literature programme.
