great! but damn...  why didnt i think of that!?

»genesis - v1«  (2023) [Live @ZKM, 2023]
for no-input AI neural generators

genesis - v1 is a first attempt of using audio generative neural networks without the resort to any human data, amplifying the own materiality of the algorithms towards cybernetic chaos rather than nature imitation. While the use of neural generative modelling for reproduction becomes invasive in our lives, their specific materiality is largely unknown, unshown, and even hidden, as if its revelation would be the unveilement of a magic trick. However, what could happen if we take the opposite position, that is enforcing individuality and emergence away from any human data and judgements? While learning without data can seem non-sense, I tried to overcome this apparent paradox by rather by giving to a set of different agents and set of structural (and often impossible) objectives, to force them to find the genesis of an eco-systemic equilibrium with which I communicate during the performance through diverse inputs (request, bending, recording).

It's 20 years at the date of this upload Liza N'Eliaz left this world. This little assemblage is for Her, without whom I would not have fallen in love with frequencies in the audio range to the point of dedicating my life to them. She is the one who openned the door. Once she showed me the existence of those parallel worlds, there was no turning back. She saved my life, no less. Liza, I'll love you in 1000 billions years and more // all audio tracks mangled here are home made. With the exception of extracts from the No-Tek record I released a few months ago and my submission for the Controverse recs compilation released now 5 years ago, all the material here present is unreleased, and most of it has been imagined and pre-recorded those last 10 months.
