Chinese calligraphy is a balance of expression and control • This piece represents all 2048 Chinese seed words, randomly generated in 24-word phrases, displayed in traditional style • The duration is 8:08 – the number 8 is lucky in Chinese (bā sounds like "to prosper"). To have multiple eights is considered very lucky.

“What happens when you lose someone by death? The immediate reaction is a sense of paralysis, and when you come out of that state of shock, there is what we call sorrow. Now, what does that word ‘sorrow’ mean? The companionship, the happy words, the walks, the many pleasant things you did and hoped to do together - all this is taken away in a second, and you are left empty, naked, lonely. That is what you are objecting to, that is what the mind rebels against: being suddenly left to itself, utterly lonely, empty, without any support. Now, what matters is to live with that emptiness, just to live with it without any reaction, without rationalizing it, without running away from it to mediums, to the theory of reincarnation, and all that stupid nonsense - to live with it with your whole being. And if you go into it step by step you will find that there is an ending of sorrow - a real ending, not just a verbal ending, not the superficial ending that comes through escape, through identification with a concept, or commitment to an idea. Then you will find there is nothing to protect, because the mind is completely empty and is no longer reacting in the sense of trying to fill that emptiness; and when all sorrow has thus come to an end, you will have started on another journey - a journey that has no ending and no beginning. There is an immensity that is beyond all measure, but you cannot possibly enter into that world without the total ending of sorrow.” – J. Krishnamurti, Saanen 1963

The iconic New York slice. One of my most sought after pieces now as my first NFT. Something about low brow goods and everyday objects depicted in such a precise way demonstrate how valuable they really are.

This piece contains 10,000 unique states of Schrödinger’s Cat. The size at which this piece is observed makes one of these 10,000 states real, while all other states still exist in superposition.

"You see in all religions the art of living is taught — how to live a good life. But in no religion it is taught how to die." – A.K. Jain

Sallekhana is the voluntary fasting to death undertaken by devout followers of Jainism only when death is imminent: "Sallekhana-death must be distinguished from suicide. It is undertaken only when the body is no longer capable of serving its owner as an instrument of dharma and when the inevitability of death is a matter of undisputed certainty." 
– The Householder's Dharma

Life is Terminal.

This work is drawn (quite literally) from "La Princesse de Broglie", a painting by the neo-classical French painter Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres. 

The original painting has been repainted by dragging Ingres's original brush strokes using digital brushes. Though digitally manipulated, each repainted stroke is done in a manual methodical process in order to mimic traditional painting techniques.

"La Princesse de Broglie" is in the public domain.

Realistic handwriting
Drawn by a robot
In order to look human

These cards are all written by robots that have been trained to create realistic human handwriting.

The reason this mimicking of humanity is useful to companies is that it appears to the reader that  a company cared enough to write them a personal letter when in fact the process is fully automated.

  Such perceptions of thoughtfulness can be converted into profits only if the viewer is sufficiently convinced that someone cared about them.

The writing on these cards refers to itself ("Meta").
The text is written as a haiku poem ("Verse").

AI is often described as a "black box" – even those that created it don't know exactly how it will behave. This piece is designed to give the feeling of a black box, as well as moments of a "black mirror" – the effect when a viewer sees only themselves reflected in a black screen. We have created AI systems in our image, making them feel human. Yet the notion that super intelligent AI will work in our interest is a fairy tale – it has no basis in reality. The smartest human alive cannot conceive of a being 2x smarter, let alone 1000x smarter. The idea that we will safely control a super intelligent being may be the last fairy tale.

The length of this piece is long enough that a viewer may simply give up – a symbol of our current apathy towards this existential risk. The duration (10:01) is also a mirrored number made of binary code digits. The music consists of the same notes repeated, but evolved through subtle mutations meant to evoke the development of AI from something we recognize towards something utterly unrecognizable.

Note: AI was not used in the creation of this piece. All text and audio are created by the (human) artist.
