Each artwork has a unique title generated by AI, using ‘The Library of Babel’, a short story by Jorge Luis Borges, as a lexicon to draw words from. The story about a practically infinite library preempts artificial intelligence and evokes analogies with genetic code.
The series title ‘Alluvion’ refers to the new landscape that the current deluge in digital technology is shaping. The original word describes topology irrevocably changed by the detritus left behind after a flood or tsunami.
