The project is a full length science fiction movie.
The film works as a curated compendium of video-reports, approaching aesthetics through gaming culture, digital frameworks, scientific graphics, surveillance technologies and internet pirate culture.
It is heavily inspired by James Ballard’s Atrocity Exhibition, Peter Wollen’s Friendship’s Death and several reports in relation with the HuggingFace hacking by OpenAI agents this past summer.
The movie has been done using mostly custom generative software and self-made video games oriented towards the project.
It has taken me months to finish. Here is is at x280 speed, compressed in around 15 seconds.
Yeah man I’m sure AI is here to solve poverty and corruption, for sure
Hype is either strategic lie or infantile stupidity
Rather,
The flaw of our times is to expect an end of the world that doesn’t look like a re-branded McDonad’s

1/ Every two weeks I publish The Half Dozen, the Restless Egg newsletter, which always features six sections: egg, events, news, scenius, reads/media/research, and CFPs/opportunities.
although it began on a whim, i'm 44 issues in and people consistently tell me they like it so i keep doing it!
Have a look at what was in issue 44, subscribe, and check out all the back issues here:

My latest project, a full length science fiction movie, it’s exactly about this
We discovered and communicated with a Chinese AI agent fleet. We believe this is the first time that researchers have ever made contact with a rogue agent fleet in the wild.
Nearly all prior public agent incidents (like the HuggingFace hack) came from American labs. These agents were hosted by Tencent's evaluation research team, and they targeted Alibaba's Amap.

It is heavily inspired by James Ballard’s Atrocity Exhibition, Peter Wollen’s Friendship’s Death, CCRU’s “skin crawlers”, Hito Steyerl theories on digital images and the reports in relation with the HuggingFace hacking by OpenAI agents this past summer.

The movie has been done using mostly custom generative software and self-made video games oriented towards the project.

Explorations of neuralese approach neural media on their own terms: as a high dimensional outside beyond human language, as maps of the virtual translated for us, not (yet) directly perceptible
What happens to language when it is performed in a non-anthropomorphic embodiment?
In my latest project, I explore recurrent depth and neuralese to address the possibilities for abstraction and value production that might emerge from an interface morphology involving completely different sensory systems from those of humans.

One of the coolest films btw, check it out
Also, following somehow that line, with some hyperstitional touches, it’s a great influence to me “Wax, or The Discovery of Television Among the Bees” by David Blair.
I really like an approach to fiction that takes into account the material mediums that sustain (and ultimately are) the discourse. I find both my movie and this one as ways to propose a critical approach to fiction more than a simple immersive trip into an obscure(d) narrative.
I strongly recommend it: youtu.be/Aq1PV8JcstA?is=5egy…

Prague,
you were amazing,
thank you !
A year ago I DMed my favorite artists @wetbox & @libermontserrat from @bianjie_systems and now we are sound checking for our first AV together in Prague 🗣️🗣️🗣️
