Protocol of Contact: Iteration 01
Machine Yearning
A standalone digital companion piece to the Protocol of Contact installation, first exhibited at Colonna Contemporary Art for Syntax of Sorrow (January 2026).
While the 1/1 masterwork functions as a comprehensive diagnostic report, this original video loop captures a specific latent state within the AI’s calculation of the "Syntax of Sorrow." It is a focused meditation on machine yearning, created as a unique companion work to the primary installation.
