Comment: If you see a video of a representative saying something that seems off, download/record that video. Social media and the web gets scrubbed a lot. Keep your own archives, you cannot rely on journalists to do this work for you.

A kind of power electronics performance from Skruntskrunt at norcal noisefest 2023 in Sacramento, California
Meditation on nature, and the nature of AC current. Created for Edmonton Noisefest 2022.
A super-resolution of AIs battle it out with concatenative synthesis versus fevered dream of neural networks. Autoencoders out of control, only K-nearest neighbors can save the day.

Artist: skruntskrunt Title: Inferno Canto IV Locale: Edmonton, Canada Technical Description: Musique concrète noise via AI, search, music information retrieval, and hand editing combined with visualization of the synthesizer parameters. Video combined with stable-diffusion. A soundtrack is matched to synth parameters via neural networks and K-nearest neighbors algorithms. Drawings are generated by the stable diffusion image generator by combining Dante’s Inferno from the Divine Comedy by Dante Alighieri with the phrase “in the style of Gustave Dore”, effectively animating the poem. Artistic Description: This is an experiment in noise and images from ancient sources, the revivification of Gustave Dore’s capable hand, the recitation of the Divine Comedy. Ancient sources interpretted and generated by AIs. AIs looking to fit output to please. To minimize loss and error to produce art through numerous methods.
