At this year\u2019s Mobile World Congress (MWC) in Barcelona, firmly established as Europe\u2019s leading hotspot for digital innovation, Deutsche Telekom is embracing the world of digital art to bring some added creative flair to its exhibition stand<\/strong><\/p>\n

Designed by Spanish artist Antonyo Marest and drawing on his trademark colorful architecture and nature-inspired style, the booth will showcase his artwork alongside work from renowned digital media artist Refik Anadol, known for his AI-created visuals.
\n\u00abWith the artists, we want to highlight the human side of digitalization. Our view of artificial intelligence is more technical. The interconnection of art and technology can offer us fresh perspectives on society,\u00bb says Antje Hundhausen, Head of Brand Experience at Deutsche Telekom. \u00abBut we are aware that there is still more to learn and understand about AI. In addition to our focus on innovation, we’re also dedicating this year’s booth to AI and art.\u00bb<\/p>\n

Antonyo Marest: a cocktail of Art Deco and South Indian architecture<\/strong>
\nBorn and raised in Alicante, Spain, the internationally renowned multidisciplinary artist learned his trade studying architecture and art at several different European universities. Marest’s works feature abstractions found in nature, such as light rays, waves, and liquids. They create harmonious forms that are a conversation between content, formats, and color. In one interview, Marest said of his art, \u00abWhat influences me most are the colors and patterns of architecture. My inspiration is a cocktail of Art Deco, the architecture of South India, and the psychedelic stamps of the ’80s.\u00bb<\/p>\n

AI artwork by Refik Anadol<\/strong>
\nCreating a riot of color from digital data is renowned media artist Refik Anadol’s digital data sculptures. Anadol is a lecturer in UCLA’s Department of Design Media Arts and director of Refik Anadol Studio in Los Angeles. \u00abIn particular, his work explores the space between digital and physical presence, using machine intelligence to create hybrid relationships between architecture and media art,\u00bb FUTUR 21’s website says of Refik Anadol.
\nThe Istanbul-born artist and new media designer is a pioneer in the field of artificial intelligence aesthetics. His artworks explore the power of data-driven machine learning algorithms to create abstract environments. At MWC 2022, Telekom will present the artist’s artwork \u00abSatellite B\u00bb as part of the art series \u00abMACHINE HALLUCINATIONS: NATURE DREAMS\u00bb, the aesthetic outcome of Anadol’s research into the intersection of human consciousness, natural archives and machine intelligence.<\/p>\n

Turning hate speech into colorful images<\/strong>
\nDespite the undisputed benefits of digitization, it carries obvious downsides. Online hate speech is a prime example of this. As part of its \u201cNo hate speech\u00bb project, Deutsche Telekom is sending out a clear message against online hate speech, disrespect and bullying at this year’s MWC.
\n\u00abDigitization must be designed in a meaningful way. It connects people worldwide, improves work processes and can make the world more sustainable,\u00bb says Antje Hundhausen. \u00abOn the other hand, online abuse is still a growing problem. As part of our project \u00abNo hate speech\u00bb, we invite MWC visitors to actively oppose hate speech with something beautiful.\u00bb
\nVisitors can creatively defuse hateful tweets with artificial intelligence at an interactive exhibit at the booth. With hateful online comments displayed on a large screen, visitors can select a post they consider particularly hateful and \u00abunhate\u00bb it with the help of AI, which transforms the words into a beautiful image.
\nVisitors can experience the Deutsche Telekom MWC exhibition stand between February 28 to March 3, 2022 in Barcelona and also in a virtual tour online at mwc.telekom.com. The stage program will also be live streamed online.
\nThe #unhate exhibit was designed and implemented in collaboration with the Cologne-based creative agency Elastique.<\/p>\n
