Vernissage - Zwischen den Welten
Vernissage - Zwischen den Welten
Vier Bilder. Vier Himmelsrichtungen. In ihrer Mitte: eine Eule, die antwortet. ​Mit Zwischen den Welten eröffnet Karin Schiffmann einen Raum zwischen Orientierung und Ungewissheit, zwischen Malerei, Objekt und lebendigem Dialog. ​Die grossformatigen Himmelsrichtungs-Bilder spannen ein Feld auf, das weniger Landschaft zeigt als KrĂ€fte sichtbar macht: Aufbruch und RĂŒckkehr, Anziehung und Loslassen, das Bekannte und das Unbekannte. ​Im Zentrum steht die Orakeleule, eine Installation, die altes Wissen und neue Technologie miteinander verbindet. Über Jahrzehnte hat Karin Schiffmann Texte, Bilder, Überlieferungen und persönliche Aufzeichnungen gesammelt. Aus diesem handverlesenen Archiv entsteht ein KI-gestĂŒtztes Orakel: Wer die Eule befragt, erhĂ€lt keine beliebigen Antworten, sondern Resonanzen aus einem persönlichen Wissensraum, gefiltert durch Maschine, Erinnerung und kĂŒnstlerisches Denken. ​Kleine Eulenobjekte und Fabeltierbilder treten als Zwischentöne in den Raum: nah, eigenwillig, prĂ€zise und still. Gemeinsam verdichten sie die Ausstellung zu einem GefĂŒge aus Zeichen, Fragen und Gegenwart. ​Was geschieht, wenn Kunst zu sprechen beginnt? ​Ein Raum zum Erleben, Sehen und Fragen. ​Gustavo Salami gibt an der Vernissage einen kurzen, verstĂ€ndlichen Einblick in die Frage, wie kĂŒnstliche Intelligenz Kunst verĂ€ndert: Was bleibt menschlich, was wird neu möglich, und warum betrifft uns das alle? ​**Ort** Kuble – House of Intelligence RĂ€ffelstrasse 26 8045 ZĂŒrich [kuble.com](https://kuble.com/?utm_source=luma) ​**Vernissage** 16\. Juni 2026 ab 17:00 ​[karinschiffmann.com](https://karinschiffmann.com/?utm_source=luma) ​Karin Schiffmann, geboren 1952 in Bern, lebt und arbeitet in ZĂŒrich. Ihre kĂŒnstlerische Praxis bewegt sich zwischen Malerei, Ritual, Objekt und Forschung. Sie studierte unter anderem bei Prof. Leiko Ikemura und zeigte ihre Arbeiten international, unter anderem in Mumbai, ZĂŒrich, Schaffhausen und im Metaverse.

ZĂŒrich Poolside Chats : UX · Product · Research
ZĂŒrich Poolside Chats : UX · Product · Research
### **Poolside Chats: Design, Research, Engineering & UX** Join us for a relaxed summer gathering at one of Zurich’s local Badis. This is a casual community meetup for designers, researchers developers, product managers, and other curious builders who enjoy thoughtful conversations, sharing ideas, and spending time outdoors. We’ll gather by the pool to discuss topics such as: * Passion projects * Design, technology, and product thinking * Ethical and responsible uses of AI * Creativity, learning, and experimentation * Personal philosophies and ways of working * Interesting questions about the future The format is intentionally informal. Feel free to join a conversation, listen, ask questions, or share something you’ve been exploring. Need a break? Take a swim, cool off, and come back with a fresh perspective or a new idea to discuss. This is not a recruiting event, job fair, or transactional networking meetup. While meaningful professional relationships may naturally develop over time, the purpose of the gathering is not to find clients, hire employees, or look for your next job. Instead, the goal is to create a welcoming space for genuine conversation, intellectual curiosity, and human connection. Bring your curiosity, a towel, and whatever ideas have been occupying your mind lately. \*Come to exchange ideas, not business cards.\*

Smart Search + AI: An Outcome-Driven Journey from IDP to a Suite of AI
Smart Search + AI: An Outcome-Driven Journey from IDP to a Suite of AI
Over a billion documents processed. Millions of Veterans impacted. Hundreds of thousands of employee hours saved. Faster decisions. Greater accuracy. More benefits in the hands of our disabled Veterans. We created Smart Search, the world’s largest consumer of Amazon Textract, right when GenAI began reshaping what’s possible. Since then, we’ve built a suite of AI‑driven solutions that transform this data into real, measurable outcomes—accelerating benefits decisions for our Nation’s Veterans. Join us for a focused conversation on how an outcome‑driven approach to AI is helping us boost accuracy, streamline workflows, and deliver faster results for those who have served. This is a follow up to the AWS re:Invent 2023 "Intelligent Document Processing with Gen AI for Public Sector" presentation. About Speaker: Cameron Williams is a Senior Technical Project Manager and cross-functional technical leader at Booz Allen Hamilton with 15+ years of experience architecting and evolving scalable, cloud-native systems, from greenfield development to complex enterprise modernization. https://www.linkedin.com/in/cameronw711/ **THANK YOU** *Franklin University* for hosting our meetup!
