I Was of Three Minds

Summary

"I was of three minds when one bracket tells a thousand items all changes level and composition."
- GPT-2, as told to RAY LC


"I Was of Three Minds" is a series of new machine learning artworks by STUDIO FOR NARRATIVE SPACES and RAY LC. Taking the perspectives of human-machine interaction, new media, and narrative design, this exhibition explores the way humans and machines interpret each other in narrative environments. Works include "Catch and Release" (four pieces of dance performances interpreted by computer vision), "Home Alone" (ML latent space traversal meditation on interior spaces both high and low in Hong Kong), "Imitations of Immortality" (GPT-2 generated poetry), "FLORA" (a digital landscape interactive with Jeff Crouse), "DRIZZLE" (a ML-supplemented manga magazine designed for psychology of climate change action), "Artistic Intelligence - Analyst" (interactive sculpture that talks to you in LED language when you're near), and "Sound Of(f)" (t-SNE-based music fragment interaction for perceiving related content in sound collections or sound fragments within a piece). "Catch and Release," "Home Alone," and "Sound Of(f)" were then reworked and reimagined for installation at Osage Gallery titled "I'm Always There."
