Synopsis
The video installation Speculative Creatures examines the place of intuition, prediction and speculation in the worlds of finance, spirituality and machine learning. The evolving narrative structure of the work is generated by a probability tool based on Markov chains. Using computer code, the order of the installation’s multiple audio sequences differs from time to time, generating constantly renewed associations of ideas.
