United Kingdom 2026Encoded Instinct is an experimental meditation on how generative AI systems can extrapolate from organic beginnings and articulate a visual dialectic between living systems and machine processes. This piece reflects on contemporary questions about agency and hybridity in AI artmaking: where does instinct end and computation begin? Through the recursive interplay between source photography and generative animation, Encoded Instinct offers a contemplative and visually immersive exploration of post-natural form and emergent logic.
