The aesthetic experiment Speculative Artificial Intelligence / Exp. #2 investigates the creative capacity of Artificial Intelligence systems. Communication between two AI systems takes place in a range that is made understandable to humans through direct audiovisual translation. The two systems are interconnected to create a closed loop in which both interact. The visitor can follow this exchange and intuitively experience the behavior of neural networks. A system “hears” sounds and “creates” images; the other “sees” images and “plays” sounds.

The result is a feedback loop between the two machines that gives rise to an infinite audiovisual composition. To produce the specific aesthetics of neural networks, audiovisual translation is carried out in the most direct way possible, avoiding representations of our usual environment. The state of neural networks is reflected in simple light brightness and pure audio signals. The raw, uninterpreted data generates its own aesthetics and shows the processes within the AI ​​system. The two networks operate together to develop an abstract audiovisual language. Visitors can intervene in the communication between AI systems.
