MIKEY WOODBRIDGE & EZRA SHIBBOLETH | ALGORITHMIC ZONES OF PICTORIAL SENSIBILITY

ALGORITHMIC ZONES OF PICTORIAL SENSIBILITY by Mikey Woodbridge and Ezra Shibboleth is inspired by Yves Klein's ZONE DE SENSIBILITÉ PICTURALE IMMATÉRIELLE and Mitchell Chan's DIGITAL ZONES OF IMMATERIAL PICTORIAL SENSIBILITY. In Klein's piece, he made paper certificates that represented empty zones imbued with immaterial artistic sensibility. Chan's piece translated this concept to blockchain by creating empty digital zones represented by ERC-20 tokens. Woodbridge and Shibboleth explore seven empty semantic zones to locate the possibility of sensitivity and sensibility in the latent space of a text-to-image diffusion model.
