Swarm

(2020)


Website containing a series of three video essays and a gallery of additional GAN experimentation

Machine sentience challenges notions of creativity and what it means to be human. Swarm is an archive and a purgatory, exploring the potential for creation and destruction that is shared by both human and machine. In Tibetan Buddhism, bardo (བར་དོ་) is the intermediate space betwen death and rebirth. Not just the afterlife, this exchange can be applied to all instances of birth and death which occur constantly and cyclically in this present experience. There is no beginning or end, only the singularity.
