The Performance 'orbitoclast' consists of A.I Generated imagery, reacting to sound in real time.
It was premiered at Progress Festival and shown at Ars Electronica Festival 2019.
Projecting inner states of a Neural Network on the screens, the viewer is allowed an insight into the nearly platonic representations of artificial perception.
'Orbitoclast' refers to a tool coming from brain surgery, essentially a better version of an ice pick, a reminiscence of times in which our understanding of brain processes was as primitive as our grasp of the meaning and nature of artificial intelligence today might be.
