Emergence |
|
In philosophy, systems theory, science, and art, emergence occurs when an entity is observed to have properties its parts do not have on their own.
These properties or behaviors emerge only when the parts interact in a wider whole. Emergence plays a central role in theories of integrative levels and of complex systems. For instance, the phenomenon of life as studied in biology is an emergent property of chemistry, and psychological phenomena emerge from the neurobiological phenomena of living things. |

Technology as an emergent system of humanity |
|
While studying the theory of emergence i focused on the idea of technology as an emergent system of humanity. I contacted various institutions where technological advance was at the forfront.
Robotics, artificial intelligence, big data centers. I wanted to get the feeling of these spaces, speak with the people working there, document and research. |

The vision of A MACHINE
|
|
After the first implemantations of stricter measures due to Covid where taken place i did not have acess to these facilities anymore so my project had to adjust.
I started to imagine the gaze of a machine towards humanity, as system created by it, different ways of recreating our reallity through this gaze and how close this reallity could resemble ours. |
|
How machine learning and AI create copies of our world. I gave the program some parameters of The Hague, mainly the center area with tall buildings and the canals that exist in the city. It took those parameters and created a city landscape of it's own.

|
AI program which takes millions of google images as a source and created people or landscape which do not exist in reallity
|
a hidden language
|
|
As my research came to an end i had to chose to investigate the language of machines, to explore the hidden world that was arround me, affecting every aspect of my daily life but also hidden from my sight and hearing.
So i aqcuired the sensory abillity of a machine to immerse myself into this hidden reallity. I started expeimenting with interactive media, translating the sound into live visual. Using a special microphone i recorded the electromagnetic radiation that came from devices all arround my house. |

Finalizing the project
|
|
As the idea of the hidden world of machines arround me and the gaze of a machine merged i started gather my material and editing for my final presentation.
I choose as my subject my roomate who lives a door away from me and tried to gaze him through the experiences i gained. With my new sensory abilities and a renewed interest to dwelve deep into the beatiful and chaotic world of the machines. |
