Statement:

My first room in New Art City! Created with a few videos I had around, some textures from my synthesizers, and 3D shapes I downloaded online. I squirreled art all around it.

The Eye Becomes The Body

Artist name Sammie Veeler

Artwork Description:

A performance of a poem generated from James Joyce's Finnegans Wake using the Keras LSTM script made using Jargondocs by Benny Lichtner.

Jargondocs allows the user to click and drag to move the camera, and scroll to zoom infinitely. The Eye Becomes The Body takes the long paragraph generated by the AI and renders it as a linear journey. Clicking and dragging becomes walking.

The mouse pointer is the most common virtual embodiment in human computer interaction. It has two affordances: point and assent. Even if you want to say no, you must say yes to saying no.

I collaborate with the AI by resonating my associations inline with the poem.
