AUTOBSCURA

Creative gesture has been an act of care. Our gestures, patterns, and textures preserve memories of communities, carrying stories across different surfaces, enabling each of us to build our existence within and above the living archives. In this room we recall a state where making is remembering and creating is a way to narrativize our own stories to be seen, granted shape and form by a self-created language of connection and how it is sustained by touch.

Our use of artificial networks as a medium transforms acts of translation into acts of power. What begins as collaboration becomes manipulation, echoing hierarchies old and new. Creations, alongside each trace of us as creators, pass through algorithmic filters that decide what is visible, what is worthy of attention. The gaze turns reflexive, we witness intelligence, watching, interpreting, and curating the truths it cannot fully grasp, yet endlessly seeks to define.

At the final stage, the artificial intelligence gathers everything seen and shaped before it. Creation becomes reflection: AI is no longer only a producer but consumer of a world of which it was a creator. Human and machine creativity merge into a single, recursive gesture, one that questions authorship, perception, and agency. In witnessing these entanglements, we glimpse how our sense of being is continually remade within a world that increasingly curates itself.
