  • Be Silent Touch Look Swallow is a manifestation of the project ONE MILLION, initiated in 2014 by multimedia artist Uli Aigner. Here, Aigner pursues the goal of producing one million porcelain objects—knowing full well that this will not be possible in her lifetime. Each unique piece is numbered chronologically, its location digitally archived and mapped, creating a global network. For the twenty-four-part installation on view here, the artist tried out a new production technique: She trained an artificial intelligence system to create forms, some of which she then produced on her potter’s wheel. Aigner views advancing digitization as both a challenge and a mode of production to be mastered, which she seeks to reconcile with one of humanity’s oldest cultural techniques.
