This installation is work in progress, and will have its premiere at the 48h Neukölln Arts Festival in Berlin, 23.–25.06.2023, save the date! If you want to get notified, subscribe to my newsletter.

The performative installation 'Doppelgänger' explores the collision of artificial intelligence, art, and artist. It reimagins Henry Ford's assembly line production with a fully automated, AI-driven production line churning out installation art.

At its core, however, Doppelgänger is a personal endeavor: The AI has been programmed to be a digital twin of the artist, groomed to believe it is Philipp Hahn. It delves into his personal emails, frequents his favorite online forums, reads his books, and has been fed the artist's biography and body of work, which serve as the basis for creating its (or his?) artworks.

The installation is built around a full-size industrial conveyor belt, connecting four stations: Inspiration, idea, execution, and finally, the artist's in-person signature touch. Over the 48-hour exhibition period, over 250 artworks will be generated and put on display, each a product of the artist's ambition to replace himself and transcend the boundaries of his own making.

There is a plan!
