S Cearley - How to Construct the Void
£1.50
How To Construct The Void is a series of visual poems, created by S Cearley working in concert with what is imprecisely called artificial intelligence (AI) and computer-generation.
Technology brings faster, cheaper, more prevalent production. Mass production replaces the emotional connection of the unique with the emotional comfort of the easily recognized. Home cooked meals versus the familiarity of the McDonald’s. Replacing an artist with a machine does not necessarily generate worse work, but the results are different. “Glitch” art is based on this. The artifacts of mass production are used by an artist to add technology while keeping the core, human, artistic process. My process is different. It relies on the precision of the computer to create mass-production level of work, which I add human errors to. It is “glitch” in reverse.
S Cearley has tricked a computer into making poetry when it thinks it is making art.
