Using Dreamybot AI, an AI-powered dream analysis software, I developed prompts for the LLM to interpret my dreams over the course of one week, and then used the responses to create a generative long-form poem that is displayed scrolling across a series of seven paintings using programmable LED signs. The paintings are created using a set of chance based rules and actions, and abstractly reference the concept of cloud storage for personal data and how these networks of remote servers can be seen as a stand in for collective consciousness in a Posthuman context.
