https://posthumancinema.com/dream-factory/index.html

‘DREAM FACTORY unfolds across 5 movements, beginning with the molding of artificial forms as they imagine themselves into embodied existence and culminating in these entities speaking directly to viewers in modulated #human voices. The work traces a complete evolution, from foundational apparitions constructing a sense of form, through experimental social embodiment, surreal encounters, and early attempts at speech that surface as Dada-inflected sound poetry, to moments of self-reflection.

Rather than asking whether machines can replace artists, DREAM FACTORY explores how #artists and #machines might improvise together by composing atmospheres, voices, and haunting figures that neither could produce alone. The result is a speculative, oneiric #cinema that operates simultaneously as #fiction, #documentary expanded #media and experimental ritual...'

Is AI the true enemy, or just a convenient distraction from systemic failure?

New piece on why moral panics around technology are often just masks for structural decay. Instead of fighting the machine, we should be auditing the foundation.

REBLOG: ‘Manufactured Desire’ by Jeff Flesch

Poem

I am a flower petal fallen to earth, shattered. A piece in a game, a pawn in a machine. Gears turn, but no one's home. Silent stimuli, irresistible impulse—manufactured desire. I am aware, sifting through messages of my own repair.
