The system explores how natural structures from the most tiny to the most huge, share aesthetic properties, as recognised by the trained network, and recreated in continuous flowing sequence via these connections. It’s a study of the seemingly infinite nature of space and natural physical structure, which can loop back on itself to give endless visual exploration and variation. The music needed to be equally organic and free flowing, the result of an improvisation session where I tried to keep the parameters constantly and slowly changing to mirror the ebb and flow and morphing style of Memo’s work.

This series exists in various forms, and is primarily a large-scale video and sound installation; a multi-channel, abstract film; a monument that celebrates life, nature, the universe and our subjective experience of it. The work invites us on a spiritual journey through slow, meditative, continuously evolving images and sounds, told through the imagination of a deep artificial neural network. We are invited to acknowledge and appreciate the role we play as humans as part of a complex ecosystem heavily dependent on the balanced co-existence of many components. The work embraces and celebrates the interconnectedness of all human, non-human, living and non living things across infinitely many scales of time and space – from microbes to galaxies. “We are all connected. To each other, biologically. To the earth, chemically. To the rest of the universe atomically.” – Neil deGrasse Tyson “The cosmos is within us. We are made of star-stuff. We are a way for the universe to know itself.” – Carl Sagan How can we think in times of urgencies without the self-indulgent and self-fulfilling myths of apocalypse, when every fiber of our being is interlaced, even complicit, in the webs of processes that must somehow be engaged and repatterned? Recursively, whether we asked for it or not, the pattern is in our hands. It matters what ideas we use to think other ideas with. It matters what matters we use to think other matters with. It matters what knots knot knots. It matters what thoughts think thoughts. It matters what worlds world worlds.“ – Donna Haraway - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Stream/download: https://ffm.to/yearningfortheinfinite Music: Max Cooper Sign up for exclusive music & updates: https://maxcooper.net/#join Follow on Instagram: www.instagram.com/maxcoopermax Follow on Facebook: www.facebook.com/maxcoopermax Director: Memo Akten www.memo.tv http://deepmeditations.ai   / memotv     / memo_akten
