If (x = Robot), Then (y = Move fast and break things); In the (z = Self-Cleaning House); of (n = Coherent Nonsense); While (m = Being Mechanical Turk); [[[the video]]]
Digital video that weaves together historical and present day techno-science-fact-fiction-gender-based references to investigate female-coded personae of robots, code-based work of mechanical turks, invention of the “self-cleaning house” and Silicon Valley’s motto to “move fast and break things”.

Yorgos Papafigos
Listening
‍CGI (35mm) composition created with Unreal Engine, integrating AI tools for audio and dialogues. It juxtaposes consumer electronics with natural and industrial materials in a sterile, translucent container, exploring themes of authenticity, voice cloning, and privacy in the digital era.

‍

Timothy Earl Neill
Pure Lush
‍animation and audio generated from audio recordings and 3D scanned artefacts collected during diverse research expeditions, including UNESCO World Heritage Sites, the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone, the vacant lots of Pruitt-Igoe, and the rainforests of the Yucatan in Mexico.

‍

Sydney Mills
GLOVE FLAVORED
‍Video inspired by research images created by the artist using Midjourney and featuring homemade slime, exploring conflicting emotions of the sublime and the grotesque in relation to moments of medical intervention.

‍Suon Laulu (Song of the Swamp)
‍Visual score and choral performance of 160 years of post-extraction peatland soil data created with hyperspectral camera data. Choral composition by Hannah Selin and performance by Tuira Chamber Choir under the direction of Satu Korpi. Video programmed by Brian Givens using Processing.

Luke Rizzotto
BRTV
‍Installation consisting of a TV in front of Black Rock Point, NV at sunrise playing a looping video of a related 3D CG environment. Created in 2023 as part of a Friends of Black Rock-High Rock and Bureau of Land Management Residency.

‍Synthesized Desire: Lets Connect
‍Synthetic humans learn to use their electric architecture to explore each others circuitry and find connection. Created with Runway ML Gen-3, Sunoi AI, Claude AI, and Adobe Premiere Pro.

Jessica Reisch
Fruiting Bodies
‍demo of interactive installation created using TouchDesigner for generative visual sequences with a Kinect device for interactivity, exploring the vast and largely invisible networked relationships in the natural world through fungi

‍suffocating_FISH staringBLANKly4deathwiilllling and ecclesiastical_accurate_fish/whale-astold_byMii
‍inkjet prints on paper of 3D modeled assemblages composed of fish assets sourced from various shovelware fishing simulator games for the Nintendo Wii.

‍untitled Interspecies Umwelten
‍screen-based visualizations that use motion capture and generative text (LLMs) to propose an interscaler, speculative conversation with an algae - the E.gracilis in real time

‍

Katalin Tesch
A Reverse Gaze
‍video created with a camera-hacked version of Art of Illusion and Adobe AE, exploring the way we develop the idea of beauty through certain visual rules, e.g. perspective, and how those rules could shape our collective standards.

‍

Alexander Miller‍
‍plant blobs
‍Digital animation created by collecting, curating and nurturing algorithmic specimens that inhabit a space both cellular and planetary. A symphony of particle forces orchestrates the form and interaction of the simulation, tuned to cosmological constants by the artist.

‍

Sandra Portal-Andreu
Pink Flight
‍Video that plays with the parallels between humans and flamingos, taking viewers through a whimsical journey as dancers weave through spaces and architecture with movement and sound.

Julia Petrocelli‍
‍I-80
‍Scotch packing tape and found objects from highway I-80. Dirt and debris concealed in a layer of scotch packing tape, enacted into movement, magnifies the road and its millions of travelers. Following a woman in the privacy of her 2001 Lexus.

‍

Vivian Hou‍
‍flower of evil
‍mixed media image created with charcoal, oil pastel, airbrush, pen on paper, and 3D rendering engine. Inventing image-making techniques that intersect biological, material, and digital intelligences.

‍

Marya Triandafellos‍
‍Quantum
‍digitally created image using AI and digital imaging software. The vibrant, chaotic, yet interconnectedness of the forms represents the often paradoxical and counterintuitive world of quantum mechanics.
