Laokoon Gruppe

In their work, the group Laokoon (Cosima Terrasse, Hans Block, Moritz Riesewieck) combines investigative research with various forms of artistic expressions. Their essays, documentaries, theatre productions, lectures and radio plays are created on highly explosive topics, the focus is always the question of how our perception of people and society is changing in the digital age. Their play about digital immortality “Keine Menschenseele” will premiere in May 2022 at the Burgtheater in Vienna.

FILM “MADE TO MEASURE” 

For their investigative and artistic data experiment “MADE TO MEASURE”, the group Laokoon creates the doppelganger of a person unknown to them based solely on their personal online data. Five years of this person's life were reconstructed and filmed in detail on a large theatre stage. A few months later, the original and her datafied double met. The spectacular experiment becomes tangible on an interactive storytelling website, where visitors can experience what conclusions can be drawn about a person's character, psychology and future behavior though algorithms.

The film “MADE TO MEASURE” will be shown at the CIVA tour on 2 June 2022.
