fft dreaming, 2020
sound installation

 

Sound installation at the 'Being Dreamed' exhibition in the GAMPA gallery, Pardubice thematizing automatic creativity of digital technologies; creation of new realities by digital algorithmic processes.
The other works at the exhibition are dreamed in resynthesis, automatic transformation and imitation by artificial intelligence. Sound representations of fragments of the other works from the exhibition are analyzed by the fft algorithm1, dreamed by the Google search and recommendation algorithm, subjected to machine learning and subsequent automatic imitation. The difference between recording and synthesis and storing and creating data is being blurred.2
