Brute Force

by Vinzenz Aubry, Robert Schnüll

🏆 Honorary Mention · Prix Ars Electronica 2026

In 2026, the Prix Ars Electronica jury recognised “Brute Force” by Vinzenz Aubry and Robert Schnüll (Interactive Art) with a Honorary Mention.

An interactive installation and performance questioning LLM-alienation and the illusion of control. The language of computers is full of violence. Programmers push updates, force merges, kill processes, and execute commands.
