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

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…

Dark Mode

Dark Mode is a minimal meditation on the rogue-like / adventure game genre, stripped to its bare essentials: a labyrinth, varied “encounters”, and numerical stats. What is the…
