Other elements that complete the installation include ʻinterpassive’ rituals (the prayer wheel that ʻprays in our place’, the machine that ʻchants in our place’, and the photocopier that ʻreads in our place’), and the recurring visual motif of three interlocking eyeballs, all facing inward: the iris that looks at itself looking.” Elsewhere, a generative animation highlights discrete words from the news story as they come in, while dissolving the whole. The texts of these counter-factual news in turn become the basis for the sound output, which breaks the texts down by word-type, and with each word-type a different generative sound pattern is triggered. An artificial intelligence algorithm (known as GPT-neo, which is an open-source version of Open AI project’s GPT-3 engine) then takes the headline as a ʻprompt,’ to generate a continuous stream of counter-factual news stories.
