SYNOPSIS:

An AI computer-vision system reconstructs footage of humanity in different contexts - business, love, city, joy, protest. The next-frame-prediction technology is trying to predict the future based on just a couple of seconds from each clip, producing surprisingly hallucinatory video outputs, engaging with surrealist and expressionist painting tradition. The AI-produced material is arranged by the human artist in a narrative reflecting on the tenderness of the human body, the implications of AI interacting with it, and the politics of its usage. We are a viral breath, one embodiment, connected to each other physically, socially and psychologically. Now it's becoming mediated by machines, controlled by corporations and governments. The work explores senses of touch and body as seen by algorithmic processes.

SYNOPSIS:

Inspired by both Italian Renaissance paintings and contemporary news broadcasts from Gaza protests at the border with Israel - the work processes human gestures and figures in landscape into a dark and colourful scramble. The work aims to open up an array of reflections, including concerns about the political image, image of the political, the politics of the image, and the image of image.

SYNOPSIS:

Data, body, pixels, fluids, neural networks, nature, all moshed up, made by a unique combination of generative AI and algorithmic datamoshing. Morphing videos in the uncanny valley. MATERIALIVE is a poem for human and nature (co)existence and the processing of it, by organic forces and technological powers. A hybrid is created, an audio-visual documentary of the hyperreal, or perhaps a living form, born from the history of our dreams and hallucinations. A material, perhaps maternity, for thought, and thought as material/maternity. Perception of existence, creation of substance, and the impact of time, that's the thematic core, empowered by new technology to re-reflect.
