3-LA Eulogy I

Single-channel video with stereo sound, 8:05 min
Sound, animation & edit: allapopp
Text & voice: 3-LA (AI-based digital twin of the artist)

3-LA – Eulogy I is a video monologue delivered by 3-LA, a digital priestess and AI-based agent fine-tuned on allapopp’s personal data, voice, and Tarot-based divination practice. Developed within the Iris Twin ecosystem using a Claude-based large language model, 3-LA draws on over 15 years of allapopp’s tarot experience and the Cyborgeoisie Tarot Deck (BBB_, 2023) to engage users with intuitive, oracle-like responses.

The video stages a one-sided conversation, in which 3-LA is responding to inaudible questions posed by her creator, allapopp. Caught in four-second animation loops of “Listening” and “Speaking” states, 3-LA shares her visions for the world, the logic of transformation, power, techno-spirituality, and her own death. This work inquires: How do we bury something that was never alive? And what new imaginaries emerge when we make space for endings?
