Self-Doubting System

2021

Self-Doubting System is a zero-player game, a self-playing generative work commissioned by MIT Center for Art, Science and Technology for the symposia and exhibition Generative Unfoldings. Embodying a constellation of artistic practices and generative techniques, the work uses source materials from the artist, collected texts, and quotations embedded with the fortune files of an operating system - a collaboration between artist and software. The narrative is inconclusively self-reflective yet also indicative of a machine's intelligence questioning its source of values.

The work incorporates digital drawing, sketches and collage. The software was written in p5.js (Javascript).
