“Kunst” or The Self Determination of a Digital Organism
2020
Exhibited in minimal at Case – Projektraum der Fotografie.
”Kunst” is a work based on the self-determination of a digital photographic organism. The organism was built to make a singular decision; when should a photo be taken, and to serve a singular purpose; take a photo. Based on a pseudo-random function, the organism decides(?) to take a photo of its surroundings. The images taken are not based on aesthetic values, rather the value of analogue random noise from an unconnected computer pin. Sometimes the organism photographs itself.
