A continuous pull-back to try to find the intrinsic properties of art made with generative AI, with glimpses along the way of data mining, hackers, organic computing, surveillance culture, latent space, Perlin noise, and puppets. The text is generated in the style of Jeremy Narby and Terrance McKenna describing the recursive nature of latent space, voiced by an AI actor and remixed by a plant via bio-electricity.The 50 individual images were produced with Midjourney AI, then cut up in Photoshop, and animated in After Effects. The voice was generated by Coqui AI, then processed with a modular synthesizer and sampler, then further manipulated in After Effects, rendering the voice into gibberish.
