Hypereikon kind mythopoetic minerals and speculative artefacts from the textural sounds of Kloxii Li, the veryfirst glance of MUTUALISMX, a planetary-spanning brand-new job from Hexorcismos.
MUTUALISMX getshere as a conclusion of the multidisciplinary experimentation of Moisés Horta Valenzuela, muchbetter understood as Hexorcismos. For the last 7 years the artist and technologist has worked with generative synthetic neural networks, offering an option method to synthetic intelligence that centers cumulative understanding over the predispositions intrinsic in modern A.I. designs and datasets. This researchstudy led to the development of SEMILLA.AI, a “small information” neural audio synthesis tool which linesup the “technopoetics of generative computation”, decolonial aestheticappeal and efforts to reassess A.I. userinterfaces, illustration parallels inbetween the Deep Learning practice of utilizing ‘seeds’ and the Mesoamerican Mixe prophecy practice of ‘Mook pajk wëjwë, which loosely equates as ‘maize seed prophecy’.
The tool serves as the kernel of MUTUALISMX, for which Hexorcismos welcomed a planetary-spanning cumulative of artists, consistingof KMRU, Ale Hop and El Irreal Veintiuno, to usage the tool. On ‘Anhaga’, Hunanese-American artist Kloxii Li laces textural swathes of crystalline sound with machinic harshness, supplying us with an heavenly glance of the sounds possible with SEMILLA.AI. Working in action to MUTUALISMX are Chilean artists Hypereikon. “We started by lookinginto artefacts, tools, weapons, and magnificent signs from precolonial cultures, atfirst focusing on Mayan and Aztec civilizations,” they discuss.
“Instead of relying on historical info from particular websites, we chose to delve into the materiality itself and reveal the typical language of various cultures worrying mineral products and their technological utilizes,” they continue. “Our objective was to create speculative and abstract innovations, broadening the concept of the usage of minerals and gems for practical and magical functions.” Using a range of A.I. tools Hypereiko
