Christof Migone: You And I Are Water Earth Fire Air Of Life And Death (Machine Listening)
b"Selfless selves, linked Is, and not-Is. -I is the third in a series of twelve annual 12-hour events taking place on December 12, 2022. Each year the event moves through each word of the 12-word phrase\\xa0'you and I are water earth fire air of life and death'\\xa0and activates the word of the year in a myriad of ways.\\xa0\\n\\nChristof Migone talks through the origins of his curatorial project\\xa0You And I Are Water Earth Fire Air Of Life And Death; the contributions to this year's theme of I; and the use of time and mathematics to create structure within artistic practice.\\n\\nChristof Migone is an artist, teacher, curator, and writer often working with language, voice, bodies, performance, intimacy, complicity, and endurance. \\n\\nLiquid Architecture will present\\xa0'Ego Trip' by Machine Listening for this year's instalment of 'You And I Are Water Earth Fire Air Of Life And Death'. The video work was made following the announcement of Ego4d from Facebook AI in 2021. Ego4D is a dataset, an international research network coordinated by Meta, and a set of machine learning challenges to competitively answer the questions: \\u201cwhat did I do?\\u201d, \\u201cwhat am I doing now?\\u201d, and \\u201cwhat will I do next?\\u201d through the eyes and ears of an augmented human body. \\u2018Ego Trip\\u2019 extracts moments from an Ego4D promotional video and relentlessly recomposes them into new variations of their slogan-question, What if AI could understand your world through your eyes?\\n\\nMachine\\xa0Listening\\xa0is an investigation and experiment in collective learning instigated by\\xa0Sean Dockray, James Parker, and\\xa0Joel Stern. The project takes numerous forms including collaborative research, resource sharing, curation, publishing and artistic production. \\n\\nhttps://youandiarewaterearthfireairoflifeanddeath.com/project/i-2022\\n\\nYou And I Are Water Earth Fire Air Of Life And Death\\n12 December 2022\\nOnline\\n\\nProduced by Mara Schwerdtfeger. \\n\\nFinancial support from patrons at any level has a resounding impact on our work.
