Time for another of my highly sporadic updates! Been working a lot on the Deep World project, and with custom LLM chatbots in general. Long story short: I’ve been working on adapting Deep World from performance to installation so people can interact with it. So, I’ve been working a lot with custom LLMs, learning a … Read more
Excited to premiere Deep World with DJ monocromo at the Algo-what Algorave at California Center for the Arts, Escondido this month! Finally had the chance to put together some documentation on the project. It’s my longtime VJ Übergeek persona back again.. but this time, there’s both a custom LLM and more meaningful text improvisation. It’s … Read more
Extra excited to be performing at, AFAIK, San Diego’s first Algorave. https://www.instagram.com/p/DKf1DGdyFkx/?hl=en I’ll be debuting a new VJ Übergeek performance, involving a live LLM, all new generative visuals, and Übergeek’s usual assortment of gadgetry and costumery. As it’s VJ Übergeek’s 25th anniversary, Übergeek’s classic existential angst has been newly refurbished for 2025 as well. I’ll … Read more
Super honored to have the Plagiarist Manifesto as part of Panke Gallery’s “In Between – A NetArt Exhibition for Bright Night,” curated by the always amazing Sakrowski. https://www.panke.gallery/exhibition/brightnight/ A collection of early net art works from a time when we “lived intensely the hopes and fears of the coming networked age.” The show is part … Read more
Hey! Lots going on in the world, and in the overlapping realms of social media, algorithms, and reality. “The algorithm” is more salient than ever. So, I decided it’d be a good time to rebuild What the Robot Saw. What the Robot Saw is a generative livestream that uses its own “contrarian” algorithms to continuously … Read more
Did some fun generative AI projects: “The Complete Daisy,” a throwback political ad, from a “simpler” time of negative politics… And “Crying,” a very short film for the very cool “One Off” festival by Noemata — on the theme of crying. (starts on Nov 15th): https://noemata.net/one-off
Deep Hysteria will be making its print debut in the AI AI AI exhibition at Radian Gallery, San Francisco. This’ll be my first time ever exhibiting print work.. Woo hoo! Lotsa cool work in this show! Psyched to be joining them!
If you’ll be in Linz this week, I’ve got a new paper, Deep Hysteria: Toward a Constructive Approach to Algorithmic Bias in the Expanded Animation symposium at Ars Electronica on Friday Sept 6th. Unfortunately, I have to attend this one remotely, but I’ll be Zooming in for the presentation and Q&A Friday morning. Excited about … Read more
Just a quick update: I’ll be presenting a short paper/talk on Deep Hysteria – and the concerns behind it – at the Association for the Anthropology of Consciousness conference April 9th. (I’ll unfortunately have to attend remotely). I’ll be on the panel, Art and Media at the Technology/Consciousness Nexus coordinated by Nicholas Long. Looking forward … Read more
When you’ve been at something for a long time, you start forgetting what you did all those years ago, so it’s really nice when other people remember. So, it’s a super honor that the Rhizome folks included theBot from back in 2000, in their generative art history SEED. Ramble on! -theBot
