Decoding Ambiguity immersive video installation, stable diffusion Metaphor is for most people a device of the poetic imagination, but the ordinary conceptual system, in terms of which we both think and communicate, is fundamentally metaphorical in nature. With regard to artificial intelligence, the question arises as to whether it can eventually come to comprehend figurative language in a consistent and non-literal manner.

Decoding Ambiguity traces the semantic limits inherent in machine learning’s paradigm. The artists make use of natural language processing to produce a sequence of generated poems, which are in turn provided as instructions for a text-to-video generative model.

The vulnerabilities of computation provoke a reflective examination on the complexity of language, perception, and the (in)ability of artificial intelligence to interpret complex semantic structures.

The installation invites visitors to enter an immersive space where a series of visual experiments reveal hidden patterns and complex relations, emerging from language and image interplay.
