Variable measures
These are some of my works made in 2022, which are all made using different kinds of Artificial Intelligences, One one hand, I continued my works with GANs, Diffusion models (Disco Diffusion and DALL·E 2), and GPT-3. On the other I am making different experiments to portray how the digital impacts the physical and viceversa.
An example of these is my Top Comments series, which consists in paintings, made after images generated with a soft AI that spams posts in Instagram by tracking hashtags. In this way, it is generative art without the explicit use of code. Hashtags work as an open invitation to spamming. A screenshot is taken to collect the Top Comments and make the painting. The resulting work is then posted using the same hashtags, getting spammed and taking a screenshot for me to make another painting. I also started turning my AI images into Polaroids, creating evidence-like photos of different conspiracy theories. I began working deeper with Roombas by adding a projector on top of them too make screenings while they cleaned.
Working with Disco Diffusion V5 Turbo and CLIP was specially satisfying, as this allowed me to generate 3D images through GANs, just as the ones that can be seen in Overlooked Smartphones or Smartphones in swimming pool. I also trained datasets in StyleGAN3 and made more deepfakes for my Alternate Reality Games (ARG). I also started animating my DALL·E images to create still life clips and video evidence for conspiracy theories, like my UFO accidents and Flat Planets
In my ARGs, 2022 became key, as I began my simulation series, which consists on performance experiences which explore the paranoia of being unable to distinguish truth from fake. The first one of them was commissioned by the Museo Jumex to dialogue with Urs Fischer's Lovers.
