Reminds Me Of “i Can't Help Myself” In A Way - Blog Posts

I desperately wanna be serious about this and write up a whole analysis on the nature of toxic relationships and love since, yknow, this is such a beautiful work of art. Everything from the angle of the shots to the color of the text and the poems chosen - it's brilliant. Not to mention the whole amazing digital exhibit online of poetic code. I'd say give it a shot, snoop around the site if you have the time. biennale.py is another interesting piece!

But... Okay, I'm ngl, my first thought was: "oh god, they gave the robots std's". Like can you imagine trying to explain this to an AI? Just. Oh yeah, we used to make art of you guys destroying each other. All I can think about now is that! I feel like if there's ever a robot/AI takeover, whoever gave an old brick computer STDS (Sneha Solanki) is going to be the first to go. Beautiful art, but oh my god. 💀

Two networked machines, one infected with a virus, slowly infects the other through the interface of classic romantic poetry.

A breakdown in the relationship was inevitable once the virus had seeped into the memory of one machine and then into the other through a singular network cable affecting the poetic text files. Communication between the two deteriorated, leading to irrational & at times odd behaviour. Each machine reacted with equal confusion and conflict. The interface text became an illegible poetic mutation of itself.
