Made for the 9th AI contest by Claire Silver. (Finalist) Theme: WE The work holds a fragile body in a brutal system: wrapped, protected, and simultaneously exposed. The output is an unstable organism. Expanding, exhausted. It thematises the radical ambiguity of our present. The tension between genuine technological possibilities and simultaneous systemic decay. WE Beautiful world of possibilities. Silicon and carbon based machine. Rescue or collapse. We don't know. Wrapped in blankets. Not out of despair. Not out of tenderness. We don't know. The world shakes. No one knows what's real. Power is centralised. Dependency grows. Boundaries are crossed. Something new is born. We figure it out. We are part of we. We find balance. Or learn, too late, that we couldn't. Maybe rescue and collapse are the same. We don't know. We know that we is hope and courage. We is curiosity and trust. We know that we is not enough. And we're on it. Whether we chose we or not. WE.
