God is in the bugs Technical details 2021 NFT collection 2.501Ξ God is in the bugs: any real biological evolution is the consequence of an error in a DNA copy. Contrary to common understanding, evolution is not based on any intention of the being which is “more adapted to the environment”.

(text by Carlos Lozano) “Computers are bringing about a situation that’s like the invention of harmony. Subroutines are like chords. No one would think of keeping a chord to himself.

May 29, 2019Susurros (Whispers) Technical data 2019 Fanzine 20 Pages, A5. Open source subtitle editing for the movie Ghost in the Shell: Innocence.

As part of my Artificial Intelligence research, I created these contact sheets of the faces that the algorithm detects. You can read more about my research here.
You can also view the full contact sheets archive on contacts or Flickr. The archive is updated every time the system finds a sufficient number of new faces.
Note that every picture is credited. This is not the appropriation of images from the internet; it’s the re-use of freely distributed content interpreted by an AI algorithm.
