Event Modeling – AI Fossil
2023
Interactive digital environment
Infinite duration
 
The work began with the collection and collation of various news and social events that have occurred or are happening based on social media algorithms, and utilized dreamfields3D to generate 3D models using the titles of news/events as the seeding words/sentences. In the era of AI technology blowout (but also in its “baby-like” era), the work records all kinds of human information as “AI fossils” through AI text to 3D model generation technology. In the future “abandoned factory” scene that is mixed with reality and virtual, it is full of different experiences between humans and AI on the same event. Human information is presented as some realistic fragments, some historical fossils, a pile of metal carvings, or a pile of inferior plastic toys. Participants can find their original text by approaching each “fossil”, and they can also dig out stories that have become grand, obscene, meaningful, exciting or moderately boring in the AI generation process.

Event Modeling – #dump
2023
Live simulation and online environment
Infinite duration
 
#dump is a simulated "landfill" inspired by IRL mineral mining and fracking environments jointly built by AI, artists and social media users. The simulation is generated in real time by a php Twitter bot (we’re calling “dump-bot”) and Unreal Engine 5 Blueprints.  "Dump-bot" lives on a hidden server in the NYU Computer Science department and monitors and scrapes Twitter in real-time. When keywords related to an AI-generated 3D model are found, this model will be instantly dumped into the landfill scene. Every moment, social media users around the world use keyboards and mobile phones to trigger these keywords, resulting in a constant dump of AI generated models filling the landscape.  It’s a world-without-end.
