Reprogramming Sensory Habits

Tom White presents Atlas of Perception, a spinning sculpture of roughly fifty visual concepts from Google's SigLIP vision model, each shown as an animated visualization that was verified to activate its concept. White says the names are whimsical nicknames he chose so the concepts could be referred to, and he frames the work as exposing what these systems have learned about the visual world. Separately, Justin Urbach discusses BLINDHAED with AI researchers Alexander Koenig and William East, explaining that event cameras respond only to local brightness changes and that the artists chose them for their otherworldly imagery.
