What kind of representation could make the workings of artificial intelligence visible? What tools could I use as an artist, apart from illustrations or diagrams? What materials could make this process tangible? These are the questions I asked an artificial intelligence programme. It advised me to use smart gels. I applied these sticky polymers to a surface and left them to act. They gradually settled into place, slowly and independently of my will. Proof that artificial intelligence adapts to its environment by continually changing it. The work you are looking at today will no longer be the same tomorrow, or the day after, or the day after that. It will do as it pleases. And there will be nothing we can do to control it.
