La Création de l'Algo reframes the religious content of Michelangelo's work for the Digital Renaissance by addressing the creation of algorithms and AI by humans, in a piece where everything from the visuals to the music was done as a collaboration between a human and algorithms. \n\nHere, a bold human creator evokes control and confidence over the algos (the tattoo says “my keys my choice” alluding to the self-sovereignty offered by self-custodial wallets on a blockchain, and the nipple censorship bandages saying “oh hai Suckerberg”, mocking Zuckerberg’s Meta obsession with censoring nipples through a meme from the disastrous movie “The Room”). Yet, her VR helmet brand is ReV (“rêve” means “dream” in French). Is it because of the many parallels to be drawn between human dreams and image generation through machine learning, the likeness of experiencing dreaming and virtual reality, or because this control over the AIs are just a dream? \n\nOn the other side, obviously keeping the drapes in the shape of a brain as in Michelangelo’s original piece, stands the artificial mind. It visually features a lot of philosophical data about itself and its relationship to its creators - us. Tweets about the complex relationship of humans with algorithms on social media, poetic visualisation done by an AI of questions such as how does “the liberating power and magic feeling of new forms of creation with the help of technology” look? Neural networks? Blockchains? Algorithms? \n\nThe binary chain linking the hands of both creator and creature says “slave / master”, the literal technical terms used in computer science used to precise which device sends data and commands, or receive data and execute. \n\nThen, getting deeper in this relationship, we zoom in, and access the AI’s reimagination of the scene, taking the creator’s chair, and imagining it’s creating humans. After all, it does rewire our brains, namely through social media and apps playing with dopamine cycles, among others. For a moment, it breaks the yin yang-esque balance of the human-made art sitting on algo-made art and facing algo-made art sitting on human-made art. For 3 seconds, it’s all algo face to face with all human. \n\nTranslating the binary conundrum to sound, the melody is made with the most digital sounds and composed by a human, and the beat is composed by an AI using human sounds. \n\nWho creates what? Who creates who? Where does this go?\n\n#digitalart\n\n #superrare\n\n #michelangelo\n\n #art\n\n #digitalrenaissance\n\n #aiart\n\n #nft\n\n #glitch #artist
