Treacy, Tricia: Synthetic Synthetics on all levels: Material, mapping, reflection, AI-created birds and chatGPT generated poems....
Materials, substances, or processes that are created through non-natural methods can be used to make plastic bottles, discarded wrappers, and heaps of rubbish. They can be ubiquitous objects or an inspiration to reuse, repurpose, gather, use, and fold again. In the process of appreciating synthetic beauty, they grew oblivious to the tangible ugliness in their surroundings, like AI spawning people, objects or birds passing through an archive.
We cannot escape AI and chat GPT (generative synthetics) in our current world. Birds were created by NOVIKI (Warsaw, Poland) with assistance from ai. The birds love long journeys. Hand-bound using a selection of papers, fabrics, envelopes, bags, and synthetics in the winter of 2024. en., letterpress, risography, thread sewing in paper slipcase, 9 x 12,2 inch, Ed. of 20, num., sign., Lebanon, 2024 Request of availability backnext
