The balloon popped today on its own so I cut a big head hole and to my delight it fits a treat. Because it feels strange to wear the mask, what if I invite the audience to, but the eyes can see invisible ink on prints, or across the room…

Can you believe I found such a good artwork this morning to relay mine to !! I feel as if we both had very similar ideas !!

The title of the work means "to see one’s end, as if one could somehow perceive the moment of one’s own demise."

"Clerk’s taxonomic decision is based on a form of projective vision, in the sense of projecting an imagined form onto a contingent image. As such, it recalls the equally anticipatory dimension of the various prophecies that course through this exhibition, from the readymade prophecies of the historical “Mother Shipton” fortune-telling automaton on view, to the series of prophecies generated by GPT-3, the most advanced text algorithm available today.

The artist fed the same phrase into the algorithm as a starting point for all of the texts: “This is my prophecy for the future of mankind.”

The algorithm then chose words and phrases based on the colossal collection of internet texts that it had been given as its training data. Mayer describes these letters as stemming from the collective conscious of the internet.

Though the “authors” of these texts are unquantifiable, the same human hand has transcribed all of them onto paper for the exhibition. This hand transcription imbues them with an uncanny subjectivity, thus evoking that other offspring of physiognomy in the 19th century, i.e., graphology."

"The question that haunts each of these elements is that of how to read the world, how to interpret and negotiate its complexities by means of language, observation, and thought."

Watched ‘The Holy Mountain’ 1973 by Alejandro Jodorowsky last night and really enjoyed it. Lots of captivating visuals and links to symbolism and astrology which I rocked with.

Feeling pretty lost after being told to scrap my idea on Friday, and that "reading wasn't going to get me anywhere"...

During this meeting however, pulled up on my laptop was this thought provoking article by Ruby Justice Thelot on FWB. (Changing my name from Ruby Goold to Ruby Justice ASAP).

In reading this article, I learnt the word haruspicy - a divination by inspection of animal entrails... “the promise of contemporary AI is that, with high reliability, data, algorithms can form xeno-technological entities capable of digital haruspicy amidst the fumes of a virtual Delphi.”

I learnt via Wikipedia clicking off from this, of augury - the Greco-Roman religious practice of observing the behaviour of birds, to receive omens - referred to as "taking the auspices". "Auspices" (Latin: auspicium) means "looking at birds". The origin of auspicious.

Statistics persuade they don’t predict

"Even the most precise oracle cannot escape interpretation, the sibylline words require a decipherer. Every prediction, every model output, still needs an act of belief."
