The Doghouse: Exhibition Installation, MAK Vienna, Austria

Sandra Manninger

The Doghouse is an installation conceived for the exhibition/Imagine ‐ A Journey into The New Virtual at the MAK in Vienna, Austria. The exhibition presents new positions that deal in different ways with architecture and urban planning in the context of novel and advanced technologies such as Augmented Reality Virtual Reality (ARVR) and artificial intelligence (AI). Utopian, critical, futuristic and playful design strategies form the basis for new narratives, perspectives, and possibilities for action in virtual space that can continue into physical reality.1

At the heart of the installation is the idea that meaning is constructed through the use of signifiers‐symbols, codes, protocols, and other forms of communication that we use to convey meaning. The use of three‐dimensional (3D) modeling, robotics, and image generation all involve the use of signifiers, each contributing to the creation of a larger narrative about the intersection of sensibility and technology. However, the use of AI in the creation of this installation presents a particularly intriguing problem. As AI systems become increasingly sophisticated, they are capable of analyzing and interpreting data in ways that were previously impossible, leading to new forms of creative expression that challenge traditional notions of artistic authorship and intent.234

“The Doghouse” is an installation that speaks to the interplay of various signifiers, ...
