On November 12th, ANAMNESIS will take the form of a book. ANAMNESIS is a participatory endurance performance channeled over the course of five days. This work was created during the 6th Annual Inside the Castle Press CASTLE FREAK Remote Residency for Generative Literature.
ANAMNESIS interrogates the spiritual and felt dimensions of artistic and technological labor in the age of Artificial Intelligence. Utilizing technologically enabled divination, data labeling and poetry, the book explores the interdimensionality of power, communication and expression in a hyper-connected world. ANAMNESIS offers a record of contemporary attitudes and practices surrounding a rapidly evolving technology, and exists as both an object and a provocation: what are you connected to, spiritually and technologically? Where does our connectivity begin and end? As a book-object, ANAMNESIS exists as a permanent, open-ended invitation commune with it, question it, and access something beyond yourself."
