CIRCA 20:22 PRESENTS: UNTITLED BY ARCA
(AI generated video sequence)

GAN Training by Christina Anagnostou

Blurring the line between art and technology, Arca trained an algorithm with 31 images of her mixed media paintings, allowing these material real-world artworks to transcend the physical realm to debut her emergence as a visual artist on the global stage.

“I hope you are compelled by these interpolated paintings of mine to take a moment and let the visual ASMR produce pleasure, allow for a moment of respite and solace, the experience of warped beauty.”

The ground-breaking experimental artist, Arca invites audiences to enter into a sci-fi playground for Untitled, CIRCA’s new commission which premiered on Piccadilly Lights in London and on a global network of screens in Los Angeles, Milan, Melbourne, New York, Seoul and Tokyo on New Year’s Day and throughout January 2022 daily at 20:22.

A 10 minute special of the film was broadcasted on Blue Monday, also known as the most depressing day of the year, as a meditation remedy to fight off the blues

I looked at Myself and Myself stared back at me is an experimental film blending and bending the boundaries of ancient greek mythology, animation and surrealism. This piece of work embeds all that is popular culture in strong visuals, giving the concept of alter egos a new glam, kitsch approach.

The film was part of the artist’s final project for (BA) Print & Time-Based Media and received the LUX Best Moving Image Award 2021 from Wimbledon College of Arts.

As a person who creates and enacts their identity through human interactions, I explored how this blend of influences can be translated through the feedback loops of a machine. Our bodies have become digital carriers of relations, feelings and memories, but how is essence transmitted through an interactive screen?
This project poses and answers this question by transcending the constraints of reality and humanity, unveiling a layer of the ghost in the machine and giving it the freedom to imagine and create by its own laws.
