Samples of irrational frames revolves around the unusual AI generated question “What was the thought you saw?”. Reproducing a naïve research made on an open source neural network trained for visual object recognition, the video displays gathered computer vision examples, while seeking a sort of dialogue with the machine. The uncanny AI footage is mixed with 3D elements to highlight the overlapping otherworldly reality we’re already experiencing. Samples of irrational frames fails to deliver a coherent conversation with the AI and develops instead into a reflection on the consequences of the algorithm age.
