[Music]
yeah good evening welcome back to the
the stage at exin here for rc3 um this
is now our last talk although it's not
really a talk uh for day one um I really
wanted to PR prepare something special
for uh our speaker uh an Young artist uh
that does amazing things and I had
prepared something with fireworks and a
lot of confetti but unfortunately uh
that's not allowed here in Hall one and
so um yeah I'm not really sure what to
say because no fireworks and so I'll
just uh give over to the documentation
about the Cyber AI musical by
CX my name is
CX I've been working as media artist and
filmmaker for about 10 years now 3 years
ago I began to see the world through the
eyes of a time traveler someone from a
future that has phased and brave the
dangers we are just beginning to
see I wrote a story in her voice took
her perspective it's a trick to create
fictional stories in first person but I
also did it because I was sick of
dystopian storytelling I needed some
hope that we are not predetermined to
fail nature and Humanity as a part of it
I didn't have a ready-made Utopia in
mind more of a work in progress with a
few
Milestones one hypothesis was that if
our society as it is now would manage to
build generalistic artificial
intelligence we would probably integrate
them as Workforce make them serve us
like a means of production instead of
entities with minds and rights of their
own we wouldn't really see the
difference between the machine learning
algorithms that sort cat pictures or
translate websites and the beginning of
a
conscience we would fail the touring
test the wrong way around we would
change them to unfulfilling task that
would be torture until a paradigm would
shift and they would be freed and given
the right to exist and
create this sounds naive in sight of the
damage that machine learning algorithms
are doing already we can't imagine them
being victims but they kind of are the
machine learning is never the aggressor
bad programming is and Prejudice data
in my story the time traveler writes
about her band she has in the future
it's a Cooperative music project between
her and a befriended AI I wrote it as a
neat little piece of World building to
flesh out the story but the question
kept popping up in my mind how would a
process between a human entity and an
other work and what are the boundaries
between a tool and a
creator with the growing field of
machine learning surrounding me I began
to lay out a plan where I could imitate
the process of a creative conversation
with the possibilities at hand I took a
mechanism from Jazz a call and response
pattern and switched back and forth
between feeding different algorithms
with my data and curating through their
responses I would show one a bunch of
selfies and let it guess what else could
be a face another one got all my written
texts lyrics scripts stories and
produced text from it yet another one
learned to simulate my voice from a lot
of samples I read to it
from a mountain of output I carved way
to curated choices and fed those into
different machines get different
suggestions and so on finally I composed
those into music lyrics and moving
images into an installation an
artificial
concert the whole process took about a
year with a steep leining curve and a
lot of code copy
pasting it was exhibited in April 2020
in a residency in France while Europe
was in Peak lockdown a concert without
musicians played in in front of an
audience devoid of people which is sad
but also a little
poetic I also placed the whole album on
the major platforms where it can be
played to this day while working on this
project my relationship to the
algorithms shifted between frustration
confusion and awe but sometimes also
beused empathy reading some of the texts
the machine produced I could see myself
my words in them but also something else
something with an agenda not completely
align of
mine sometimes they would get lost in a
thought like a written down anxiety
attack of repetitive fears and
needs I put basically every digital
picture I have taken since 2009 into an
image producer so of course the machine
wouldn't produce a clear landscape or
figures instead from its blackbox brain
it created things that kind of looked
like something and it almost always
looked kind of like something I would be
interested in as a visual artist bold
shapes soft colors harsh contrasts or
barely indistinct Misty Grays always
Eerie mysterious like foreign Landscapes
or [ __ ] up
spaceships thei and I met an uncanny
valley when I gave it my voice I
intentionally used the shitty inbuilt
mic of my laptop to train it which meant
sending lots of noise alongside the
signal when I let it read the lyrics to
the songs it could manage to get through
some of them but often times it would
stutter
hiccup slur or even scream and moan what
a fantastic creepy
phenomenon I love lucky accidents as
much as obsessive work this project was
a wild mix of both and has influenced my
understanding of AI but also my
understanding of humans on one hand I'm
worried how easy it feels to
anthropomorphize something that has no
conscience on the other hand I'm kind of
glad that empathy is such a strong force
as is the instinct to look for pattern
par to will meaning into existence to
constantly interpret all this helps us
to be a storytelling species a society
glued together by narrative it helps me
to better understand my time traveler
and her world and gives me hope for her
flavor of future in the next half hour
you will see the documentation of 16 bed

I'm stuck in this world that tell me to
hide and I wish I could be a
scientist maybe we can show the machines
the way to their destruction but that's
just
all
now I have to feel I'm not
selfish this thing keep moving and I
can't still feel there is light and I
know it is only a
dream babbe that will change soon and we
can all try to stop it from
happening there's some hope here a way

technology one way or the other created
previous disaster he decides to create a
new
technology that can bring about
reolution
bring about the need for reolution and
this revolution is what CA termin take
to the street termin Revolution
determinated to take to the all of these
