Two Handfuls of Silver Dust consists of sculptures, paintings, fragrance, sound sculptures, and animations I made by iterating ideas in and out of the machine. I asked Chat GPT to create a piece of speculative fiction set in a post-climate change future that became a seed for all the works in the exhibition. The AI described glass and gold columns growing from a network of marble roots below the earth. In the passage, the columns began to communicate using clicks, chirps, and hums. From this initial seed, I created interdisciplinary works from an interplay between my own vision and that of the algorithm; communicating ideas between several AI systems including Stable Diffusion, deforum, Riffusion, and DallE.
