the Liminal Space (Agent Qi/氣)

the Liminal Space (Agent Qi/氣): Innocence, Agony, Ecstacy, is a room for "the Fold: episode II" where Agent Qi attempts to caress the synthetic representation of infinity with its digital body. Through machine learning, Agent Qi has been imbued with some level of sentience by the training of a neural model. This digital "Qi/氣" drives the performance of Agent Qi where the more times Qi caresses the higher their reward. The video above switches between training, real-time, and virtual reality based footage. An exit is provided to the VR player towards the end of a single stanza of the Buddhist mantra in order to get to the next room.
