An AI computer-vision system reconstructs footage of humanity in different contexts - business, love, city, joy, protest. The next-frame-prediction technology is trying to predict the future based on just a couple of seconds from each clip, producing surprisingly hallucinatory video outputs, engaging with surrealist and expressionist painting tradition. The AI-produced material is arranged by the human artist in a narrative reflecting on the tenderness of the human body, the implications of AI interacting with it, and the politics of its usage.

The work explores senses of touch and body as seen by algorithmic processes.

10 year old Bryn made a claymation movie about the importance of using "natural solutions for your bug problems" - something she's passionate about. The idea came after one of her "grub hunting" sessions (she loves gathering grubs for the birds and lizards). She loves gardening almost as much as animation, so it was a perfect fit. The animation was awarded the "Grand Recognition Award" at the "Ivie Awards" in San Diego California. The video is currently being shared by many in the gardening community, who are encouraging Bryn to enter the film into festivals (because it's both educational and hilarious). Thank you for your consideration.

As in most of Veronika Schubert’s works, language also plays a central role in her recent offering. Fragments from ads are intelligently and humorously collaged, accumulating to form a textual stream that is full of surprises and itself evokes powerful preprogrammed images. At the same time, the visual level unfurls its own cryptic stream of images. It’s the tension between these two levels that makes this work so uncommonly appealing. (tr)
