the 3d audio fixed media installation with visuals is composed of narration, field recordings, synthesized voices, and musical elements of jazz, electronica, noise, choirs and sound design. the visuals are a mixture of colorful and abstract landscapes.
the engineering and training of neural networks was the hope for a new world, and maybe even the solution to go live on another planet. the neurons of those networks were initially trained to work for human beings. yet, their intelligence became more aware and more real than most human beings had ever been.
