Big Bruderkuss
Digital Collage

he artwork plays with the fraternal love depicted on the Berlin Wall separating society.
The artists question the relationship between the Big Tech companies and Artificial Intelligence by deviating the graffiti painting “The Fraternal Kiss” created by Dmitri Vrubel in 1990 on the eastern side of the Berlin Wall.
The original painting, which is one of the best-known pieces of Berlin Wall graffiti art, depicts Leonid Brezhnev and Erich Honecker in a socialist fraternal kiss.
The artists question AI’s future impacts with Brezhnev representing Big Tech embracing it in a virtual kiss.
By changing the lines "Mein Gott. Hilf mir. Diese tödliche Liebe zu überleben.” to “My Love. Help me. To Survive this deadly God.”, the artists draw attention to the divine omnipotence of Big Tech and AI.

The adoption of AI technologies has spread across borders and has had diverse effects on societies all over the world. Centring the AI discourse around human rights rather than simply ethics can be one way of providing a clearer legal basis for development and deployment of AI technology.
The bipolar world which ended in 1989 when the Berlin Wall was taken down, today returns in the fighting between freedom and omnipotence which has changed his face into the powerful high tech company.
