Exciting news! We’re thrilled to announce that we’ve won the competition to help Anno Museum lay the groundwork for the exhibition at the beautiful new visitor center, Shelter, opening in Hamar, Norway in 2026 by ALL - architecture through sculpture. Yesterday marked the start of this inspiring journey as we dove deep into Hamar’s rich history with an incredible curatorial team—exploring artifacts, archival treasures, and the powerful stories that define this remarkable region. Thank you Anno Museum for this amazing opportunity!

Looking back at a highly creative process, it’s been a true pleasure working on the exhibition "Against All Odds - Historical Women and New Algorithms" at the National Gallery of Denmark (SMK). Together with the talented team we have explored the exciting intersection of art history and digital technologies, blending historical art with contemporary algorithms. Navigating many different tools, techniques, materials and audio/visual languages, this creative journey has been as inspiring as it has been innovative. A huge thank you to The National Gallery of Denmark (SMK) and everyone involved: Emilie Boe Bierlich, Majken Overgaard, Cecilie Høgsbro Østergaard, Laura Nørholt, Jon Lewis, Berit Anne Larsen, Mads Nørgaard, Mathilde Schytz Marvit, Ix Shells, DTU - The Technical University of Denmark, Troels Faber, Exponent, FAO Form, Caverion, Friedmann, Jan Jensen Lysdesign, and Zetup Art Service. #ArtAndTech #ExhibitionDesign #SMK #Yoke #AI #ArtHistory

Yesterday marked the grand opening of the new exhibition about Mary Elizabeths Hospital - Riget for børn, unge og gravide – at Industriens Hus. The exhibition provides a rare glimpse into the hospital’s groundbreaking vision and its ambition to create a world-class hospital experience. It tells a deeply compelling story about setting new standards for the treatment of seriously ill children – with life and play at the heart of it all ❤️ At Yoke, we are incredibly proud to have had the opportunity to design the exhibition for such a remarkable project. Even more exciting, for the first time ever, we have stepped into the role of exhibition partners. We’ve done this because we see immense value in being part of an initiative that redefines healthcare experiences for children. A huge thank you to Børneriget Fonden/Foundation for Mary Elizabeth's Hospital for the fantastic collaboration. We look forward to sharing this journey and hope as many people as possible will take the time to experience the exhibition at Industriens Hus! 📅 Sep 26 - Dec 31, 2024 | Free entrance Monday - Friday, 8-17 📍 Industriens Hus, H.C.

DIGITALE TIGERSPRING ✨ På SMK – Statens Museum for Kunst har vi tit været lidt tilbageholdende med digital formidling i vores særudstillinger. Så meget desto sjovere, lærerigt og glædeligt at vores nuværende AGAINST ALL ODDS – HISTORISKE KVINDER OG NYE ALGORITMER har skruet mærkbart op for pixels-per-tomme. Blandt strålende malerier af, i eftertiden, oversete kvindelige kunstnere har vi intet mindre end 2 🤖-nyskabelser: 👉 En chatbot hvor gæsten kan føre en samtale med (en model af) Anne Marie Carl-Nielsen. Gæsten indtaler et spørgsmål, som backenden så transskriberer til tekst, sammensætter med viden om Anne Marie Carl-Nielsen og sender til ChatGPT's API som et prompt. Backenden er sammensat af gode samarbejdspartnere hos DTU Compute og interfacet er designet af Yoke. 👉 Et både interaktivt, generativt OG immersivt kunstværk ("Interlinked") af den panamanske, digitale kunstner Ix.shells. Installationen bruger som udgangspunkt værker fra udstillingen og en mapping af de bevægelser, som kunstnerne måtte foretage for at udøve deres kunst i slut-1800-tallet. Dette udgangspunkt bruges til at generere pixelerede mønstre, der reagerer på gæsternes bevægelser i rummet. Stor high-five for modig kuratering til Emilie Boe Bierlich og Majken Overgaard ☄️ 🎯 Tak for godt samarbejde til Besyv 👩🎨 Om Against all Odds: https://lnkd.in/d5FPej5d

“Hvad er det mest betydningsfulde værk, du har skabt?” - “Hvilke andre kunstnere er du inspireret af?” - “Rejste du meget?” 🤔 I udstillingen Against All Odds - historiske kvinder og nye algoritmer på SMK kan du tale med en chatbot baseret på den danske billedhugger Anne Marie Carl-Nielsen (1863-1945). SMK har i samarbejde med DTU udviklet en sprogmodel på baggrund af arkivmateriale om kunstneren. Vi i Yoke har skabt brugergrænsefladen, den abstrakte visuelle repræsentation af kunstneren og et stemningsgivende soundscape. (N.b. Videomateriale i en senere post) Tak for et godt samarbejde til DTU - Technical University of Denmark - professor Morten Møldrup, lektor Tue Herlau og særligt til studerende Niels Raunkjær Holm, Michael Harborg og Andreas Bigom. #ai #chatbot #digitalart #smk

I dag åbner udstillingen ‘Against All Odds - Historiske kvinder og nye algoritmer’ på SMK – Statens Museum for Kunst 🖼 Med værker af 24 nordiske, kvindelige kunstnere der opnåede stor succes i deres samtid (1870-1910) men senere blev næsten glemt, sætter udstillingen fokus på, hvordan vi skriver historie, hvem der huskes og glemmes. Og ikke mindst hvorvidt ny teknologi kan bruges til at skrive historie på en helt anden måde. I Yoke er vi stolte af at have bidraget til udstillingen, hvor vi har skabt et omsluttende udstillingsdesign i samarbejde med et stærkt kuratorisk team og udviklet en sanselig chatbot-installation i samarbejde med et stærkt udviklerteam på DTU. Tak for en spændende rejse og et godt samarbejde til Statens Museum for Kunst og de dygtige mennesker i projektet: Emilie Boe Bierlich, Berit Anne Larsen, Cecilie Høgsbro Østergaard, Laura Nørholt, Jon Lewis, Mads Nørgaard, Majken Overgaard, Mathilde Schytz Marvit og ikke mindst til Itzel Yard aka Ix Shells. Og tak for et godt samarbejde til DTU - Technical University of Denmark - professor Morten Møldrup, lektor Tue Herlau og særligt til studerende Niels Raunkjær Holm, Michael Harborg og Andreas Bigom. Og en kæmpe tak til vores mange underleverandører. #ai #chatbot #grafiskdesign #udstillingsdesign #kvindeligekunstnere #ixshells
