In the lecture 'At the Frontiers of Media', we discussed the Uncanny Valley, and why AI art so often falls so perfectly into this.
Group Formation
Me, Anne, Peter and Tess have decided to work together as a group. We have quite a few ideas at the moment, and so will try to explore as many as we can before deciding on some concrete topics.

Own Practice
What of your own practice could be re-imagined?
The Metamorphosis Project or Fragile. Both could be interesting if done in different ways. Stereoscopic could also be remixed but I’m not sure how different it could be within the medium of film, but it could be physicalised very interestingly.
For Stereo:
Statistics printed and presented physically
Live Loops of B-roll footage across a room
Instrumental playing
The words written out along the walls surrounding screens
Even presented actually stereoscopically, re-shooting in 3D??
Existing Practice
What makes humans human? (vs AI)
The way AI sees the world is like the shadow humans leave on a cave wall.
The Golden Record?!
Censored art: https://www.economist.com/culture/2023/11/03/a-new-museum-of-prohibited-art-shows-how-censorship-evolved
An instillation around art censorship — evolution of censorship??
A burning stake — a crucifix — a whip — a guillotine — a firing squad — a noose — tongue forceps — the head cage thing — a smashed typewriter — a smashed computer ????
• ⁃ OR__examples OF banned art? Charlie Hebdo? Islamic prayer mats with holes cut in for a high heel. A crucifix with a condom on it. A cot with blood and a kippah. Severed hands holding a loaf of bread.
Potential idea?? The Antithesis: Censorship and Surveillance, Taboos and Satire, and Artificial (Un)intelligence
