E.I. The Blob (2018-ongoing)

Intra-active 3D CGI image-organism

E.I The Blob is a noise making intra-active “image-organism” sensitive to sound and touch, created to explore new ways of thinking, being, acting with the Moving Image. With it I want to open up for human to non-human social relations, where situated forms of response-ability exisits, and where the digital and the organic systems are intertwined in a continual state of affecting and changing each other. E.I the Blob plays a central role in the artistic research project “Non-knowledge, Laughter and the Moving Image” where it has allowed me to rethink our relation to the moving image and see it as an intra-active vibrant body. With E.I the Blob I want to shift our attention away from the moving image and the body as forms of representations, to them as materials of psychic intensities and fields of individuation. E.I could stand for Earthificial Intelligence, or simply a mispronunciation or confusion of the acronyms A.I. or E.T.
