Understanding the singularity is to parse a line between technology and humanity, leaving you to stare into an abyss of mortal and electronic solidarity, unaware if flesh or code is staring back.
Created by Quinn Staveley, Singularity is a video collection that utilizes Artificial Intelligence to ponder the similarity between generative technology and dissociative experiences.
In our lifetimes, the unsettling potential for A.I has and will grow. We are in an age where our voices, faces, and movements can all be reasonably fabricated and replicated. Singularity uses these technologies to show how the uncanny can be created from little more than a computer processor and a graphics engine.
This work ventures to show the uncomfortable overlap between A.I generated selves and lived experiences of dissociation, depersonalization, and derealisation; the experience of feeling disconnected and distanced from the self, left merely an observer of your own body and mind.
