Always Already Alien

EndIIEnd VR: Illumined and Illuminated

Leah Solomon (US)

EndIIEnd VR: Illumined and Illuminated re-imagines the poems of Carol Ciavonne, weaving the vantage points of an Azimuth, Quadrant, and Meridian to explore themes of exile, rebirth, and black sonic resistance.

Space

Yuemin Huang (CN)

Inspired by the Shanghai Metro, audience movement inside this crowded space triggers a range of sonic responses. A series of large white balloons fill the installation, forcing the viewer to squeeze between them. Acting as unpredictable controllers, these abstract bodies respond to human visitors and to one another, creating a cacophony that increases as we try to escape it.

LAN: Live Agent Nest

Amay Kataria (IN)

LAN (Live Agent Nest) is a colony of synthetic agents constantly in a state of action. The protocols driving them manifest in behaviors like attraction, repulsion, and forming connections. Their contact with other agents leads to emergent behaviors depending on the agent’s capabilities. After forming connections with other bodies, a network of dialog starts transpiring in these super agents.

self-contained III

Doug Rosman (US)

A neural network trained to see the world as variations of the artist’s body enacts a process of algorithmic interpretation that contends with a body as a subject of multiplicity. The neural network, with its photographic understanding of the artist, creates a pseudo-autonomous figure unconstrained by physics, biology and time, that is simultaneously one and many.
