Erbsenzähler is a german derogative for bureaucratic minded people heavily fixated on quantifyable detail. The digital turned us all into them, the erbsenzählerei infiltrating every aspect of our life, down to the tokens of our language.
Great piece!

The piece is part of the ERBSENZÄHLER project, which explores the quantification and datafication of life. In the EZ Weight Sorter, the material world is mapped onto digital data, which then reshapes physical order. But where to draw the lines—and what happens at the threshold and in the gaps? (5/5)

Detail: Here the sorted peas start to accumulate. Over time one can see the beginnings of a bell curve forming in the tubes. (4/5)

Detail: The seed travels towards the right on the linear slider and is guided by actuators into its designated glass tube—each tube represents one weight class. (3/5)

Detail: a single pea seed has been dispensed and placed on the fine scale, where its weight is registered. Seeds that fall outside of the predefined weight range are rejected, the rest are transported along the metal axis for final sorting (2/5)

Meet the EZ Weight Sorter MINI – a new machine in the ERBSENZÄHLER series that sorts individual pea seeds into predefined weight classes. As seeds accumulate in the glass tubes, their distribution traces a bell curve, turning the sorter into a live statistical display. (1/5) #projectpeacounter

Krieg mit KI: Die Cloud wird tödlicher
Die Cloud ist nicht so unsichtbar, wie es scheint. Auch ihre Rolle in der modernen Kriegsführung wird greifbarer. Neben bekannten Konzernen drängen Startups auf den militärischen Markt.
The conference "Investigating the #KillCloud", held last November in Berlin, looked at IT companies and their contributions to military programs to shed light on the ethical problems associated with the use of #AI.

I'm excited to share that my project "ERBSENZÄHLER Quality Sorter V2" is featured in ANTENNAE! 🌱🤖
The work explores the hidden biases in automated systems and invites visitors to directly engage in the sorting process—highlighting the complexities and subjectivity behind data classification.
