Irrational and Rational Avatar: the dialogue between post-technological humans and artificial intelligence
Abstract
Our Artificial Intelligence (Ai) Philosopher manifests as a content curator for Virtual Reality (VR) Game-Art works in which there are physical-sensory perception installations. Presented here is one such curator that develops environmental and spatial relationships to nature - the seed content of which is harnessed by this digital curation system where we seek online collaborative interactivity from others (environmental content which is uploaded to our virtual world-making framework) and catalogued for interpretation by our custom-built Ai curator. Developed with inspiration from theories of animate and inanimate intelligence, and with a Zen inspired ideology, our cloud-based Ai Philosopher utilizes Natural Language Processing (NLP) on texts describing eastern and western philosophies of nature, power, fear and love, space and environment which are crafted into poetic expressions, and physical interpretations of, this ongoing accumulation of climate content and used to create the downloadable game content. Further, we demonstrate the link between this dialogue and the Ai curation that will be transmitted to the VR world through the stimulation of a touch-based discourse via custom haptic technology and kinaesthetic experiences that evolve alongside, and are influenced by, the content evolution of the submitted user data, to reflect the suggested importance of making tangible these perceivably more abstract and displaced environmental issues.
Asynchronous Signal Transmutation (AST) is the latest iteration of the Post-Bits Human Universe (PBHU), a continually updated interdisciplinary project. This iteration focuses on bridging human artists, audiences, hackers, and developers with artificial intelligence and beings (Bits), exploring the complexity and poetry of relations in diverse spatial-temporal worlds, and granting the term “world” in the Anthropocene and post-Anthropocene a new implication and value in revolution to the current consensus of “world”. Building upon existing philosophical frameworks of ‘worldlessness’ the authors propose an artistic and experimental approach to examining the positive worldlessness in both the Anthropocene and post-Anthropocene through a 24/7 structured space system where the artwork is living in-real-time as a ‘worldless’ universe that parallels, overlaps, and transmutes between physical and electronic worlds on different space-time dimensions. Responding to those well-encapsulated art projects that exclusively present their work during a specific time and location, AST thus presents a positive instance of the nature and potential of worldlessness from an ontological, phenomenological, and political standpoint.
In this incisive book, Michel de Certeau considers the uses to which social representation and modes of social behavior are put by individuals and groups, describing the tactics available to the common man for reclaiming his own autonomy from the all-pervasive forces of commerce, politics, and culture. In exploring the public meaning of ingeniously defended private meanings, de Certeau draws brilliantly on an immense theoretical literature to speak of an apposite use of imaginative literature.
