The Convoluted Passage <on passivity>
research, VR environment.
In the current context of automation concatenating an order over geopolitical, environmental and mental chaos, the human subject finds itself encapsulated within an enclosure of a recursive closed loop system to a point where a possible chance of complete elimination seems inevitable. This exclusion brings into concern the question of passive consumption - uncritical overlook towards the unfolding. Passivity as opposed to activity, can be thought of as an abstraction through which the system produces iteration with a complete suspension of procedural techniques. The primacy of interactions are only on the screen and not through the depth or which lies beyond it. It promises a sort of comforting immediacy that creates a further desolation in the attempt of any possible acts of engagement. With a set of input and output fields put into convolutional networks with impulse signals as the control parameter at the core of power structure (techno-capital) - those who device them, also devices the output (techno-social) in one way or the other. Latency is then the condition.
The project works at the intersection of image making in the current context. With fast paced process, the AI tools available at hand are not really producing images like we once knew about analog mediums of recording data and translating them into conceivable forms that are images but instead they work on transfusing of already available or sampled images with precisely curated meta-data and convoluting their pixel data to derive abstraction. Image making today is nothing but producing multiplicity.
