Real-Time Slowness Meets AI

Final Presentation in Treskowstraße, 24 July 2026

After four weeks of workshops, twelve children and young people from the refugee accommodation in Berlin-Weißensee presented their work on 24 July 2026 in the communal room of the Treskowstraße accommodation. Around 25 people attended.

Drawing on exhibits from the Museum für Naturkunde Berlin and the German Museum of Technology Berlin, the participants developed a visual story together with theatre director Anis Hamdoun and artist Eva Randelzhofer, bringing exhibits from both museums to life. They created a storyboard through drawing and painting, exploring both traditional artistic and hands-on techniques as well as the possibilities of AI-assisted image production.

With the help of AI, the storyboard was transformed into the animated film The Hidden Valley on the Glass Mountain. The digital possibilities of image production were complemented by direct material experiences: the storyboard, consisting of 30 handmade original works in DIN A2 format, was presented as a wall installation. The story’s text was also translated into plain language.

Also on display are large-format drawings, paintings by the participants, and a 3 × 5 metre mural depicting a scene from the story. Two participatory stations with overhead projectors invited visitors to draw themselves, enlarge their images directly, and project them onto the wall.

The exhibition is still on view.
