Perfect Syntax

Karyn Nakamura

Artwork Description:
How will AI come to understand the syntactic logic of the world? What is this synthetic process that knows how to put together instance to instance? What does it … look like? An ordinary day is recounted on a train in rural Japan. The sequence is repeated over and over as it gets pulled apart and destroyed under various computational operations. An artificial video muscle emerges from the skeletons of a scene and reaches to stitch together the next frame, trying to patch up the distorted fragments of visual information. Isn’t it magical that we can take sequential information and weave nonlinear logic in between so casually? I secretly hope it’s something no code can crack.
