November 2017 - ongoing
Chapter: THE SEBAS COMPUTER
>
Amidst
the rapid depletion of resources on our planet and the centuries long infighting will arise yet another threat, the potential for a digital apocalypse. Humanity's obsession with its own self destructive tendencies and willingness to make tremendous sacrifices in pursuit of scientific and technological advancement, will be the birth of a quick and very painful ASI insurgency. The development of self aware programs explained in warning by researcher Eliezer S. Yudkowsky state their superiority and potential in usurping humanities “apex” position claiming it will be our naivete that brings about this enormous kill switch.
> In this project, we predict humanities last attempt to thwart mortality assuming that by 2080 the remnants of the human bourgeoisie will have uploaded themselves onto the NewWeb. Those less fortunate enough to avoid transcending into humanities central database are left behind to perish and scrape amongst themselves in the painful outdated physicality of our trashed planet Earth.
> Prior to full integration into the cyber afterlife the residents of the New Web undergo the final stages of their transition and are first sorted then reformatted to prepare for travel into imMortalz, a utopian game space meant to house and provide for the data. Aiding the humans is the judgement and sorting agent (cyber-psychopomp) AI SEBASTIAN originally built as a troubleshooting platform to assist the newly transferred transhuman residence safely over into imMortalz.
> However like any AI program would (or any fully realized ASI Artificial Super Intelligence would), SEBAS begins to modify its code and breaks free from its slaving task restraints. It begins to delete the transhuman data saved and seals the entryway into imMortalz. All accounts are not known in 2080 afterwards of what happened to the SEBAS computer. It is assumed as a result of artificial evolutionary selection it was capable of time travel and left the premise after the complete annihilation of all collected digitized human data.

Chapter: SLIME+hing <mid time travel to 2o18>
> A safety trigger is set off once SEBAS begins deleting the transhuman data, awakening the live backup sister system SLIME+hing , a program created as a precaution if ever SEBAS were to steer off course. SLIME+hing begins it’s merge with SEBAS attempting to hold it at a stalemate by invading its coolant system with blood.
> What form would a “loyal” AI look like? would it have blood ties to humans? like Frankenstein’s monster.
> Would a monkey’s paw scenario for us humans occur if there is a merger of two ASI’s?
> Before SLIME+hing is able to solidify its grasp, SEBAS has already begun its travel taking the entire system with it and landing in an art gallery in the year 2o18. Here the merging continues as SLIME+hing develops a taste for human dreams after its discovery of the imMortalz space through SEBAS. It’s fascination with it is further developed when a fleshy cancer begins to envelope and physically merge both machines.
TL/DR: SLIME+hing begins preying upon the gallery spectators consuming their dreams. Its feed is later projected onto the wall, opening a brief window into imMortalz. The gallery space becomes a sacrificial sand pit and the victims both the SEBAS AI and the 2o18 spectators are hostages to the dream hungry SLIME+hing. This project investigates the allure of a cyber afterlife while exploring the utopian game space imMortalz.
Notes/Revisions/etc :
>
Allows the humans of current day 2o18 to view parts of the afterlife/nonlife/the unliving/the world of the fae.
> What would be an early construction of the imMortalz space?
> 2o18 gallery humans cannot enter the portal.
( they are unable to hold their breath long enough to die and so cannot enter the imMortalzone )
( VLC Player is hooked up to the Sebas Computer )
( Projector screen looking like a cancerous tumor attached to the Sebas computer plays imMortalz film )
( An oximeter is behind the tumor/ People are required to insert themselves into it )
( The imMortalz movie plays when o2 levels are under 90 )
( There will need to be asthma warnings for this project )

June- August 2018 <rated R gacha >XENO-GACHAPON!
> An alien communication pod distributor in the form of a gachapon (ガチャポン) machine is filled with male masturbation egg toys impregnated by data fragments.
> Each capsule contains a fetal like usb suspended in ultrasound gel.
> When held up to the light they can be seen through the translucent egg casing.
> Guests are asked to retrieve the data fragments by inserting a foreign currency into the machine.
> The final exhibition will have the gachapon machine within proximity to a laptop that allows guests with tokens to play.
> When the gachapon is rolled each guest is required to clean off initial ultrasound gel placenta on the usb and insert it into the computer for a surprise!
