Los Caídos (The Fallen)
Artificial intelligence and data-driven technologies are often a breeding ground and battlefield for extremist ideologies, as Colombian artist and curator Juan Covelli reminds us in his 3D animation, created with game engine technologies.
This work is part of the PATH AI commissions created by artists and researchers Nouf Aljowaysir, Juan Covelli, and Chris Zhongtian Yuan for the PATH-AI residency programme. The works reflect on the creative potential, challenges and limitations of human-AI relationships.
About
Inspired by the 2021 national strikes of his home country, the simulated society of Los Caídos sees a range of characters clash with government forces in battles incited by algorithmic culture. Ultimately, Los Caídos emerges as “a community in expansion, on the lookout for a new way of relating to conscious realities, driven by a love for the collective, for support and for empathy”.
