Markov’s Umwelt

Turing Gaia: Markov’s Umwelt (TG|MU) represents the concluding chapter of the Turing Gaia artistic research project. This immersive audio-visual VR installation, was exhibited at the Science Centre Trondheim, alongside the installation Turing Gaia: Entering Thermodome (TG|TD) and the performance Composing the ((Non)Human), both presented at Kjøpmannsgata Ung Kunst. Markov’s Umwelt transports participants into the Thermodome, a virtual ecosystem grappling with the effects of climate change. The virtual reality installation invites the audience to position itself in the Umwelt of Markov-NPC. Not as a distant viewer, as in the installation TG|TD, but immersively, offering the audience to take control, and navigate Thermodome to experience the heat dominated environment.
