MATERIALIVE
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.
