Neither Artificial Nor Intelligent

IULM / Milan Machinima Festival

AI, NPC

In tandem with this year's theme, my first thoughts regarding the poster's design were: pseudo-intelligence, digitization, dehumanization, empty shells, algorithms, compulsory movement (as in NPC speech and/or movement), the contrast between the real and the fabricated and the visualization of computer code.

The work was created with the Dall-E AI provided by OpenAi and in my eyes ideally captures this idea. White experimental, dehumanized masses looking like NPC's in truly absurd poses; just standing there, surrounded by experimental code blobs. Looking around restlessly and waiting for someone, anyone, to give a quest to; to be useful, and to have their own code finally executed. To have their own quest completed.
