Syntropic Counterpoints: Metaphysics of The Machines

Published: 17 October 2021 Publication History

Abstract

In the artwork Syntropic Counterpoints: Metaphysics of The Machines, we tend to explore phenomena of AI aesthetic and challenge machine abstraction. Our approach toward the liberation of machine creativity is through the use of words and grammar as a creative tool humans developed to express worlds "beyond" the world, existing and non-existing realities. We are lead by Nietzsche's claim that grammar is the "Metaphysics of the People," as such grammar, content, and vision generated during the philosophical discussion between our AI clones is "Metaphysics of Machines" through we can experience their realities and start to question our own.
