in 2017 and 2018 we have created this A/V work which back then it was simply called c l a i r e.

our way of referring to this was a self indulgent study through the medium of an arbitrary reconstruct. when we were set out to try a few technological advancement or interesting research out there, for no reason it was initiated by fooling around the video of Realiti and audio samples from the track. this is not a homage about the pop star herself nor dedicated to her. we like to think that it basically evolved into something entirely different.

we like art where the medium itself is unglamorous and not put forward, so through out the work, visual elements such as directly displaying all the errors we got during the creation of the work, work-in-progress stuff and different sketches with multiple interactive software were brought together to create a somewhat coherent sketchbook of artistic study. there is no machine hallucination involved, we are not sure how to create those, we marvel the technological advancement itself more than its version where the particle effect is applied, we do not want an alien race in a few hundred years excavating our ruins and finding a copy of x-particles to think that it was the ultimate AI software we had in this century.
