Sk8 or Byte: Where skateboarding and artificial intelligence create new art

Name: SK8 or Byte!
Start: 2026-11-22T12:00:00+01:00
End: 2026-11-22T17:00:00+01:00
Location: Tollhaus Actionhall und Schafhof – Europäisches Kunstforum Oberbayern

SK8 or Byte! connects skateboarding and generative AI

When skateboarding, memory, and artificial intelligence come together, an unusual stage and art space opens in Freising: Alexis Dworsky invites you on November 22, 2026, to a two-part action day between skate hall, video art, and artist talk.

Between ramps, images, and digital tricks

The afternoon begins from 12 to 2 PM at the Tollhaus Actionhall. Skateboarding, historic skate videos, and a workshop on generative AI introduce the artistic idea of Sk8 or Byte! The dynamics of the skate hall meet the concentrated atmosphere of an open lab.

When the body reaches its limits

The starting point of the project is Dworsky's own injured knee: Because the artist can no longer skateboard himself, he uses generative artificial intelligence to develop new tricks and explore skateboarding possibilities beyond his own body. This results in a skate video in the style of the 1980s – between nostalgia, digital imagination, and contemporary media art.

From Tollhaus to Schafhof

After the first part of the event, a shuttle bus or a joint skate tour will take participants to Schafhof – European Art Forum Upper Bavaria. There, from 3 to 5 PM, the new skate video will be shown. An artist talk with Alexis Dworsky deepens the questions of movement, technology, body, and artistic authorship. Coffee and cake will accompany the second part of the afternoon.

Art as a connecting line

The dramaturgy of the action day follows a clear movement: from practical experience to historical images to reflection in conversation. Skate culture does not appear as just a sports backdrop but as a self-contained aesthetic language. Dworsky intertwines the physical with the digital space and develops a performance in which ramp, screen, and audience enter into dialogue with each other.

Alexis Dworsky, born in 1976, is an artist and professor for media design at the University of Art Linz. In his work, he combines digital technologies, social observation, and artistic research. His project Sk8 or Byte! was commissioned as part of CONNECTION LINES 2026 by BBK Bayern with funds from the Bavarian State Ministry for Science and Arts.

Conclusion: A stage experience between movement and algorithm

Visitors can expect an unusual art afternoon with a skateboarding atmosphere, video art, generative AI, and direct exchange with the artist. Those who want to experience how a physical limitation can lead to a new artistic movement will find an inspiring stage experience at Sk8 or Byte! between the action hall and art forum.
