A collaboration between two opposing software programs, connected through a system of exchanged values that create an emotional-like relationship. The system works as a kind of balance between two forces: one software behaves like a chaotic, physics-driven entity-unpredictable and prone to sudden, intense shifts. The other acts as a quiet observer, a hidden agent trying to track and model the movements of the first.
This work reflects on algorithmic governance — where an agent’s actions are mathematically modeled by an algorithm, which is then used to influence how the agent behaves in the future.
