"Dance Like" is a music video about dancing to music created by a disembodied system that does not understand what a body is or how it moves.
A dreamlike experimental video essay using found footage, compression artifacts, and glitched AI imagery to disentangle the human mind from the metaphors of mind as applied to generative AI.
A seminar on the Algorithmic Sublime delivered at the New School for Social Research, NYC, in November 2024.
Comments from a seminar on Gaussian Pop and AI music at the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology.
An homage to experimental filmmaker Stan Brakhage pairs AI-generated noise with moths made of data.
Exploring the compression of time within the latent space of generated AI video & sound models.
What remains when archives become datasets? Written for my Flickr Foundation Research Fellowship, these pieces look at archives as AI infrastructure and the ways the past “haunts” generated images as a result.
What if we created a diffusion model that ran on pure chance, instead of data-driven constraints?
