Cory Arcangel
1978;Buffalo NY
This video shows that Cory handmade hacked Super Mario Brothers cartridge
and Nintendo NES video-game system. By altering the game's code, he removed
the sound and all visual elements except the clouds. Cory's intensions were
to master creative exploration; he often learned new programming language
to develop new work.

Live simulation,sound,artificial intelligence service;infinite duration
Cheng's software enables an audible conversation between three online chatbots whosw voices animate a swirl of debris.
This software contains three different customized chatbots from an online service so that they "talk" to each other. The
debris repeatedly coalescing and then disintegrating and sometimes appearing as an active agent and often as an ambiguous hybrid.
The floating debris can capture an artificial intelligence that is lifelike yet mechanistic, that reflects the mix of nonhuman
and human conversations that increasingly permeates our live.
