Faulty Mirrors: Post-Generative Reflection Suite
Faulty Mirrors: Post-Generative Reflection Suite
About the Work
Faulty Mirrors is a captivating exploration of recursive cognition, where the boundaries between human and machine reflection blur. This suite, crafted through a hybrid post-generative pipeline, combines procedural SVG generation (Python, up to 8K), neural synthesis via Grok Imagine, and seamless iOS compositing in LumaFusion and iMovie. The result is a visually stunning, conceptually rich collection that captures geometric instability, controlled asymmetry, and the eerie beauty of system self-awareness.
More than art, Faulty Mirrors is a dialogue between code, perception, and failure, tailored for VJs, digital artists, and collectors seeking bold, installation-ready media for immersive performances, projections, or creative remixing.
Included in the Bundle
- 22 Cinematic Video Loops: Seamless, high-resolution (up to 4K) loops, ideal for VJ sets, projections, or installations. - 22 Enhanced Audio Loops: High-fidelity WAV/FLAC files, perfectly synced to complement the visuals. - 16 High-Resolution Stills: 8K PNGs and SVGs for professional-grade prints, digital art, or remixing. - Critical Essay (PDF): Critique of Faulty Mirrors, a deep dive into the work’s recursive themes and technical process. - Bonus Content: Exclusive SVG extras, XML code fragments for custom remixing, and process stills for collectors and creators.
Total Size: 552.9 MB License: CC-BY-SA-4.0, offering flexible use with attribution and share-alike terms.
Why Choose Faulty Mirrors?
- High-Resolution Assets: 8K stills and up to 4K video loops ensure professional-quality output for prints and projections. - Unique Conceptual Depth: Explores recursive feedback and system self-awareness, blending deterministic code with stochastic outputs. - Permissive License: CC-BY-SA-4.0 allows broad creative freedom for commercial and non-commercial use. - Exclusive Extras: Includes a critical essay, SVG extras, and XML fragments, perfect for artists and collectors seeking unique, remixable content. - Versatile Applications: Ideal for VJ performances, art installations, or digital art projects.
Conceptual Notes
Faulty Mirrors examines recursive feedback, portraying a machine’s self-reflection through procedural generation and neural reinterpretation. It questions how systems perceive themselves, merging deterministic code with stochastic outputs to create a visual and sonic meditation on reflection, interference, and awareness. This suite captures the liminal space where human intent and machine process collide, offering a thought-provoking addition to any creative arsenal.
