The Hungarian cultural institute Collegium Hungaricum Berlin (CHB) will participate in one of the largest autumn events in the German capital, the Festival of Lights, with a video animation based on the most popular poems of Sándor Petőfi and the possibilities of artificial intelligence.
For years, the CHB has been using the facade of its neo-Bauhaus building in Berlin’s historic city center as a showcase for Hungarian culture, this time with the latest work by Dávid Szauder. The media artist explores the symbiosis of man and machine with animations generated by artificial intelligence, using the best-known poems of Sándor Petőfi. His work can thus be seen as an interplay between literature, visual art, and technology, offering insights not only into the limitless possibilities of the meeting of written and visual language, but also into the possible future of human creativity.
The program, starting on Saturday evening at 8 p.m., is supported by the Hungarian National Culture Fund in the framework of the “Petőfi200” commemorative year and is organized in cooperation with the Humboldt University of Berlin.
The Festival of Lights is traditionally the most spectacular community event of autumn in Berlin. This year, the 19th edition of the ten-day festival will be held in 43 venues, with evening screenings in the immediate vicinity of the CHB, where many world-famous buildings and structures will be illuminated, including the Brandenburg Gate and the main building of Humboldt University.
