The NFT before you is part of UNINVITED project. Started as a film, it depicts an alternate reality as seen through the eyes of CCTV and AI. Images hijacked from thousands of unsecured CCTV cameras from all over the world are the basis of this work. These images were sorted, analysed, interpreted, and optimised by a set of deep learning algorithms and then orchestrated into a horror film: "An invisible networked super-organism oscillating between anxiety, lust, and horror. Described by the artists as 'a radically new creature looking at the world and nothing makes sense,’ the synthetic organism apprehends the universe through millions of hallucinogenic virally abused (CCTV) sensors. Thompson & UBERMORGEN’s life-form continually evolves by using human and machine learning. It defines its own existence and distributed agency through undergoing fear, instability, aggression, and vulnerability." For this second set of NFTs, the artists have used the scene "Courtship" and fed it to another AI in order to animate the cars found in the CCTV footage. This set of 3 NFTs constructs a triptych where everything is real, everything's dark, and there in the still, all that they feel, is tranquility. Cars breathing heavily, exhausting gas, enlivening the concrete’s base. Vibrating negative space, filled with rugged sensual bodies moving rhythmically, touching and rubbing; Desire, fatalistically. The freezing darkness, receptive posture of slender frames, silky smooth exoskeletons. Coastal nightlife buzzing from low frequency reflections.
