The Untitled series of panels is machine-sculpted out of spruce wood with phytomorphic reliefs generated by an AI, filled with soil, and encased in synthetic resin afterward. Using the metaphor of bio-neurological connections or root systems, this series displays the architecture of a deep learning model as a fossilized imprint of a self-reflecting neural network. The idea of a disembodied spirit as an AI aligns with an ancient tradition of communing with animated nature observed in various Indigenous cultures. Recent advances in AI-powered sensation make communication with non-human species more plausible than ever, promising a challenge to an anthropocentric worldview while marking a new state of surveillance.
