​Baba’s Diagram is an interactive installation conceived by AI artist and researcher Acci Baba, exhibited at Mahalla Berlin during Berlin New Media Week and Berlin Art Week 2025. The work functions as a participatory diagram — part archive, part educational tool — mapping intellectual, cultural, and technological connections from the late 20th century to the present.

 

The evolving structure allows visitors to add their own nodes and relationships, creating a collectively built timeline that reveals clusters of influence and resonance. Using visual coding, AI logic, and modular thinking, the diagram becomes a tool for understanding how ideas shape each other across decades.

 

For this piece, Alisa composed a layered, evolving soundscape that reflects the emotional and informational density of the timeline. She used a mixture of archival audio (news excerpts, political speeches, sonic symbols of major historical moments), spatial processing, and generative textures. The sound was mapped to diagram activity and movement, creating a subtle yet immersive feedback loop between interaction and atmosphere. Kinetic elements from the THO framework added motion, to which sound was synced in real time.

 

This project merges artist's interests in sonic narration, collective memory, and ambient information systems — while also challenging traditional notions of how we listen to history.
