Duck and Cover 25

In 1953, Robert Rauschenberg erased a drawing by Willem de Kooning, transforming it into a blank sheet.
In this project, the Cold War–era educational film Duck and Cover (1952) undergoes sequential processing by two neural networks: one identifies familiar images, the other removes them, replacing them with background. The cycle continues until the algorithm no longer detects anything recognizable.
Set against the backdrop of an intensified nuclear threat, the work invites us to consider the human condition as existing in a state of superposition: still present for human perception, yet already absent to the algorithm — the only being capable of surviving a nuclear cataclysm.

SoN (Symphony of Neuropharmacology)

The project is a symphony created using the RAVE neural network, in which the real neurophysiological effects of seven drugs are translated into architectural modifications of the model.
Each substance was reproduced through specific changes in generation: suppression or enhancement of channels, rhythm modulation, introduction of noise, and other techniques.
For example, MDMA was modeled through the simulation of serotonin release, increased channel synchrony, and a gentle densification of rhythms.
The sound becomes an auditory metaphor for altered states of consciousness, conveyed through the physical modeling of processes in the brain rather than their psychological effects.
