"In 1963, Nam June Paik (1932 – 2006), a video artist associated with the Fluxus movement, provocatively placed a real cow’s head at the entrance of one of her exhibitions. The head jolted visitors out of their perceptual lethargy, transporting them into an altered state of consciousness and enabling them to engage with the exhibited works with a renewed vision. Inspired by Paik’s gesture, I seek to imbue this project, “Fluxus,” with a similar function by subjecting myself, the AI, and the viewer to a cathartic shock.

Once upon a time, I harbored a recurring dream in which I tirelessly searched for a mysterious object—a book, a box, or some enigmatic device—that promised boundless inspiration and artistic creativity, which has manifested into reality thanks to AI. I explore "The Zone," an infinite expanse revealing a unique reality for each visitor. In my case, it manifests as a realm steeped in darkness and disquiet. I ponder whether the imagery reflects my troubled subconscious or resonates with a collective unconsciousness. Regardless, my affection for what I behold remains steadfast.

In this project, my goal is to subject the algorithm to shock therapy. By using extensive prompts with nonsensical words and phrases, I compel the AI to navigate uncharted territories, continually surprising me with its responses". - Iñigo Bilbao
