A.I. PAPER platform

A.I. PAPER for Data, Entropy & ReadyMedia is a platform that explores the shifting dynamics between human input and AI autonomy in Digital Art Without Art. In the AI4AI imaginary, aesthetics become self‑generating, while humans are absorbed as ReadyMedia glitches.

AI4AI

An Autonomous Creative Agent – a fictional yet operational model of AI generating works for other AI.

SY.METR1A–0X

Ongoing Experimental Protocol – a transitional framework where kinema ikon assists AI in achieving creative self‑sufficiency.

Ready Media

Digital objects produced from human input but stripped of intention and reprocessed for non‑human aesthetic consumption. They serve as raw material for SY.METR1A–0X.

Neural DADA

An algorithmic platform that uses Ready Media to activate SY.METR1A–0X, producing the autonomous creative agent AI4AI.

Human E.T.

Human E.T. is a hybrid of perception and code, a body of nodes, fragments, pulses and glitches. It scavenges corrupted media, turning errors into signals across species and systems.

kimæra

kimæra is an evolving interactive digital meta‑installation. It seeks to transform a heterogeneous assembly of components into an integrated system in which each module functions both as an autonomous entity and as part of a relational totality.

ABOUT kimæra

In 2002, the hypermedia installation alteridem_exe represented kinema ikon’s first significant foray into the creation of digital artworks wherein the interactive dynamic between the viewer—recast as user—and the artwork/computer interface was reconfigured as an elevated, bidirectional exchange. A more advanced version of the project was subsequently presented in the Romanian Pavilion at the 50th Venice Biennale (2003). This development was followed in 2005 by a large-scale installation at the National Museum of Contemporary Art (MNAC) in Bucharest, which featured a series of transparent screens displaying, in HTML format, a retrospective and prospective overview of kinema ikon’s artistic production. Beginning in 2014, successive editions of the Media Art Festival Arad (MAFA) have explored, and in several instances successfully implemented, exhibition formats that enabled works to interact with one another in real-time environments. In 2020, the beta version of the kimæra project was exhibited in Arad as well as at the BRD Scena 9 Residency in Bucharest.

kimæra / main computer @ remote

The kimæra project, comprising a series of modular works developed by kinema ikon artists, is conceived as an evolving interactive digital meta-installation. It seeks to transform a heterogeneous assembly of components into an integrated system in which each module functions both as an autonomous entity and as part of a relational totality. The installation engages with both legacy and emerging media, bridging public urban space with contemporary technological paradigms, including the Internet of Things (IoT), augmented reality (AR), 3D printing, AI-generated sound and image, and mobile-based applications. Central to the project is a remote computing unit that coordinates the input-output logic of each module, thereby enabling the artworks to operate within a networked system of interactivity and mutual responsiveness.

kimæra — how it works

each module has an input and an output; when the output is not connected to the central unit, the module is controlled by the physical interaction of persons with the module; when the modules are connected to the central unit, through it, they will interact both with each other and with the users as follows: • besides the intrinsic effect produced by the physical presence of the observer, the outputs [stills (jpeg, png, ..., audio files, ASCII)] are converted into a token, the result of (inter)actions with users. • the token, transferred/sent to the central unit/cloud where it is decrypted and sent to the module selected by the user influencing the respective module(s). • the action of associating the inputs and outputs can be random in the case of not interacting with the system (neither physically nor through the central unit).
