Cortical Whispers (2025-2026)

you opened the network and inside was a lattice and inside the lattice was a network and inside that network was an insect and the insect was dreaming of a lattice dreaming of a network dreaming of you reading this sentence and feeling something move behind your forehead

that movement is the cortical whisper.

what if the glitch was always the image?

what if corruption was the only honesty?

Technical details

this artworks mixes now-obsolete deep-dream-derived techniques with state-of-the-art analysis vision models, augmented with custom stochastic algorithms and interfaces, to produce moving hallucinations and finely-detailed still images. those images are coupled with texts produced by exhausted modern LLMs asked to reproduce early-transformer-like wording, voiced by recent small STT models.
