vAimpir is an applied research developed through trained AI models in the open-source framework. It is an open process that plays critically with the biases inherent in machine learning, and a way to experiment on new creative spaces. This is an open exploration that tries to bring us closer to a dialogue between human and machine.

As a result of this project, beyond the digital production and its concatenations, an analogue, tangible, limited and imperfect publication has been edited which synthesizes this research from the sensitivity towards the object; a counterpoint to the algorithmic contents that circulate at a different speed.

The vAImpir project is based on artificial intelligence as a topic for self-reflection: on the one hand, as a tool for expanding content and artistic exploration, and on the other, as a tool parasiting with representations of historical biases accumulating in databases within the framework of digital humanities, somehow describing the current moment in which the understanding of the world unfolds over a digital interface in which authorship is diluted. A reflection-action from dissemination models on the narrow margins separating the space of reality and the space of fiction.

Kenneth Russo: artist and researcher

His interests lie in intersubjective communication models, interfaces and interstitial spaces, virtual environments and collaborative practices, media anthropology, and also exploring new narratives through interactions with technology.

His work has been shown in various national and international festivals: Digital Graffiti (Florida), Optica Festival (Gijón), Zoomvi (CCCB), Loop Festival (Barcelona), FIB Festival (Benicàssim), VAD Festival (Girona), Espacio Enter (Berlin), Fundació Godia, Arts Santa Mònica, Bòlit Centre d’Art Contemporani, DAHJ Gallery, NFT Biennial, Centro Buñuel Calanda... He is currently flirting with AI and the collective WAAI (WeAreAIrtists).
