Machine Hallucination : NYC

This is experimental cinema, presented in 16K resolution, that visualizes the story of New York through the citys collective memories that constitute its deeplyhidden consciousness. The exhibition does not tell the story of todays New York, but, instead, foresees what may come, through the machine intelligences bridging of the gap between the present and a vision of the near future. It is a hopeful vision about the evolving relationship between machine and man, and provides an alternative to the conventional narrative of an apocalyptic future. As both an entertaining and enthralling experience, the machines hallucination can expand our capacity to dream, and help us envision things that we otherwise could not see or imagine.
