The technosocial sculpture KI-DIPFIES inhabits the exhibition space as its control interface. It sets up an Upper Austrian party and a candidate for the 2027 Linz mayoral election. We let it free run until someone interrupts.

The artist collective Computer Lars (creators of The Synthetic Party and an anagram of Marcel Proust) finetuned the Sagers of Vitus Mostdipf as a first template to be refactored into a community workflow that is open to iteration and multiplicity.

Man hands on misery to machine. Structurally, the algorithm is overfitting. It inherits the tech-dipf boilerplate of a discrete vernacular. At the same time, it renders Heimat as 20th-century nostalgia.

Can a constituency be the patch? You take control of the interface. Cross out the program, generate new ones. You sign with a name, click, and leave it in the log. Create a candidate with your own flaws. If you do nothing, KI-DIPFIES hallucinates on.

The initial protocols are drawn from a triple Palettn: Green to keep grounded; make claims that residents can test. White to keep the door open; no VIP tiers, no dress code, no jargon gatekeeping. And Black to keep the right to interrupt, puncture authority with humor.
