TEA BAG ANACONDA

wireframebody, over 1000 tea bags
@Mahalla IA - exhibition and Deutsche Gesellschaft für Künstliche Intelligenz Symposium 2025
A giant glowing anaconda lives on the grounds of Mahalla mother hall,
Her skin made of over 1000 tea bags, donated by Berlin inhabitants, each “scale” infused with human contemplation and conversation. What stories and secrets do the tea bags hold? “Tea time” is traditionally the time for pausing from the daily hassle, for cultivated human discourse, for introspection and quietness, for simple and authentic humanity.
Opposing it there is another serpent shape of the same size, but non-physical, only information. Letters, words, data on the floor. A non-being but as gripping as the voluptuous one. This is the representation of the snake of AI, that lures us into temptation and will have us expelled from Paradise once again, from the paradise of critical thinking and human sovereignity, if we don't see through its disguise and know about its “venom”.
Both represent wisdom and transformation – which one will win or is there a possibility for a truly sustainable co-existence?
