Agentia

Agentia is a work of navigable, generative poetry, examining the unfolding of the world through the encounters of animals, plants, and even objects. It is part walking-simulator, part-hypertext…

Lines of Flight

Can the act of gliding also perform as an act of writing? The sweeping movements of a glider aircraft through the sky already create circular traces in GPS…

Algorithmic Light

Algorithmic Light was a project conducted over the course of 2023, enquiring how technologies of artificial intelligence (defined broadly to encompass many diverse systems, including machine vision) can…

Nephoscope

Nephoscope is an up-coming digital work that meditates on the intersection of AI technologies, the infrastructural and metaphorical cloud behind them, and the more-than-human forces shaping our contemporary…

Waveform

Waveform is a speculative instance of ‘drone generated poetry’, meditating on the role of digital sensors in contemporary environmental monitoring. In this project, coastal shorelines are imaged using…

Signals

Signals is a collection of algebraic poems written in Lincos, the mathematical language designed for communicating with extra-terrestrial intelligences. Each poem is accompanied by exoplanet search imagery derived…

Mindshadow

Mindshadow is a meditation on the nature of communication, meaning, and storytelling after the passing of humanity. It takes the form of a message from one alien AI…

Machine Visions

This text is a catalogue of outputs derived from a speculative investigation into machine vision systems. In this investigation, an image synthesising AI (Stable Diffusion V2) was used…

Orbital Reveries

Orbital Reveries is an artistic project in which terrestrial satellite imagery is processed using computer vision algorithms to generate topological, lexical poems— characterised as ‘textscapes’. In parsing technoscientific…

The Aftermath Atlas

The Aftermath Atlas is presented as a “publishers preview” of a future book written in 2075. It details the startling discovery, made in the early 2070s, that Landsats…

Text-Image

This collection explores the results of asking a text-based Large Language Model (LLM) to generate ASCII pictures in response to a range of simple prompts. In subverting their…

Emergent Typography

Emergent Typography is an experiment that involves imprinting a conventional 26 character Latin alphabet onto a rule-driven matrix characteristic of cellular automata. The system is then allowed to…

Swipe

Swipe is a meditation on how so-called ‘swipe’ typing represents a mode of contemporary calligraphy. In this mode, the defined letterforms of print are converted into flowing glyphs—evoking…

Flowpath

FLOWPATH is a graphical, emergent programming language, inspired by 10 PRINT algorithms, cellular automata, and liquid computing architectures. It has been developed in light of the long history…

Haiku Garden

This Bitsy art game invites you to spend a couple of minutes in a garden that changes with the time of day and the passing seasons, reading generative haikus drawn from the…

A City is Not a Computer

This Bitsy art game invites you to join a team of human operators in a city-wide automated control centre, scanning through a synthetic map of ‘tasks’ generated by the system,…

Drone City

This Bitsy art game depicts life as an automated flying delivery drone, as seen from the standpoint of the machine itself. It is a codework, revealing the city, from the drone’s…

The Garden of Forking Paths

This Bitsy art game is a whimsical remake of the famous short story by the Argentinian writer Jorge Luis Borges. Explore the divergent paths of the labyrinthine garden, while leafing through cut up…
