Feedback is a way of saturating the system so it can’t do what it supposed to

minimalism – no need to fabricate new stuff, you can use what already exists

Amplification in public spaces

Sounds in nature are often a multiplication of smaller pieces (insects, raindrops etc)

“We value originality, but it has to be similar enough to something we already know”.

Feedback = ecosystem between 2 beings/worlds.

I really liked Adam’s work which was a perpetuated use of feedback and loop, adding new elements, skills and technologies over time. This makes me think of the concept of the universe being a system of feedback being passed around and looped over and over again that constantly changes and evolves.

The visual elements and the way there were intertwined into the concept was always, in my opinion, a story of its own, that harmonised with the sound in a soft but exciting way. I lived the sound of breaking rock that was played through the speaker with a delay, it was somehow soft and powerful at the same time. I would like to work with the concept of generative visuals composed with sound and the idea of algorithmic generative paintings but in digital form has crossed my mind. It was really interesting to see this idea realised. His approach is to use machine learning algorithms as a TOOL rather than an overpowering element of work, which requires adapting new, original techniques. This gives the artwork personal touch, rather than just being an automated creation of artificial intelligence.

Great interview with some of the methods Adam used in this work and other interesting content : https://espaceartactuel.com/en/interview-adam-basanta/
