FORM 23 - 2024
Sasha Sime
I might be wrong
Sasha Sime presents an artistic residency that transcends the traditional boundaries of documentary output conventionally tied to artistic representation. The obtained prompts, conceived as concentrated descriptive blocks, transform into action poetry, creating a bridge between human and machine communication.
The formal characteristics of the prompts, whether active verbs, contexts, or characters, act as constructive modules of the work. The dichotomy of the output — text perceived by humans and text perceived by machines — endows the machine with an autonomous subjectivity, equal to that of sapiens. A subjectivity coherent enough to address it with a love message.
The project was realized over three weeks as a true online artistic residency under the curation of the Form Team. The first week was dedicated to learning Processing, a programming language for creative coding (special thanks to Tim Rodenbröker for his C.C. course). The following week and a half were spent writing and visually formalizing the prompts, using Chat GPT as the primary tool for coding and debugging.
The resulting project, inspired by the phrase "I might be wrong" — a beginning of self-reflection and doubt, thus a new challenge — naturally takes its name from a Radiohead song
