This year, you can light up the big screen in Gloria’s foyer between Arena and Orange Scene with a photo from your phone. Snap a picture, upload it to slopplot.online, and seconds later it appears on the big screen.
The machine is called Slop Plot, and it feeds on your photos. A hungry AI weaves them together into one sprawling collage that grows bigger and more chaotic every day. Your photo lands side by side with thousands of other sweaty, sunburnt, blissed-out moments from across the festival site.
New images keep ticking in all the time, so the screen never stands still. Every time you pass Gloria, a new work is hanging there – maybe with your own photo somewhere in the crowd.
Meet Esben Holk, the artist behind the work, here.
