Collection "(w)orlds"
2021. Google Colab, Adobe Photoshop, CaptureOne, Adobe Premiere Pro, Cubase.
A series of audiovisual works organised as a set of discrete worlds, each corresponding to a particular emotional state. The naming principle is deliberately distanced from emotional content: titles are structured in binary notation, indexing a state without describing it. The visual and sonic material of each world takes shape in the process of creation as an authorial interpretation of the state rather than the reproduction of a predetermined scheme.
Each world unfolds as an autonomous system with a unique visual and sound layer. The visual material is grounded in photography processed in CaptureOne to establish the colour logic, combined with images generated using the VQGAN+CLIP model in Google Colab. The generative algorithms operate with structures, while affective content takes form only in the act of perception. Each work within a world develops a shared generative logic without repeating it: variation functions here as a principle rather than a deviation.
In the process of generation, a divergence between experience and its formalisation becomes discernible: the system produces configurations whose meaning remains unfixed and open to interpretation. Emotion reveals itself as a computable and variable form that admits algorithmic construction yet is not exhausted by it.
The series was first presented at the group exhibition "Art in Metaverse" at UNDER STAND AVENUE, Seoul, Korea, in January 2022.
