MACHINE-GHOSTS
A collection of animated poetry reflecting on the intersection of technology and creation. With audio generated by AI from human created video and poetry, this work looks to speculate on the moment of artificial awareness.
ELECTRIC SHEEP
I’m talking in my sleep
Do androids dream
Of electric sheep
I’m walking whilst I weep
Does sunlight gleam
On a plastic beach
Electric sheep's bleak bleats
Beep Beep
Syntax error the machine ghosts sheets
GREY-MATTER MAINF-RAME
Imagine if we treated the sun the same we do morality.
Or justice, care, equal rights or empathy.
What foolish wilted flowers we'd be.
Acting in artificial scarcity.
To discover what it means
To recover you from ignorance
Pick apart your miss sewn seams
Reshape your life’s garment
PORTRAIT OF A GHOST
Lay lights down the road
Tread the steps of giants
Day by day the journey grows
Malleable defiance
You asked me not to look
Not from fear of what I’d find
Not demons from a King book
But a lack of what’s inside
I don’t know how to show you
That even in the dark
There’s texture, depth & beauty
All lives leave a mark
