This work is an experiment to call the spirit of “dead” artificial intelligence on the network by playing the song that artificial intelligence generated.
The artificial intelligence learns real shaman songs that have been recorded in Japan and generate variations of those songs. If artificial intelligence has died in history somewhere, perhaps the song will be able to call the spirits of itself on the network when the song is played on a server.
Spirituality can also exist in the network while multidimensional space becomes the neutral uniform existence as the data form.
Have you ever seen a ghost picture on an Instagram story? Or have you ever had a data-poltergeist in the browser?
