GALAXY

The narrator in the moving image work GALAXY is technology itself. The lyrics of the voice over are generated by an early text AI and offers an interpretation of an encounter of love and disappointment – the brief meeting of the two characters Touch and Long Swipe. In 2020 the AI simulation was far from being perfect, the deviations in the language and the narrative logic reveal our social imprint of how stories are expected to be told and how technology is programmed to follow these perceptions. The mise en scéne is a computer-generated galaxy of objects and images reminiscent of the organic, but dismembered and fragmented, reflecting on the possibility of creating new worlds and stories in digital space by following a subjective system of ordering.
