"The Recursive Self" delves into the intersection of AI and human experiences. It explores how artificial replicas can supplant human interactions and materiality. The work highlights the notion of a constructed reality, whilst simultaneously hinting at the digital underpinnings that shape our world. Technology's profound influence on our environment is emphasised, symbolising the significant ways it alters our perceptions.
The title itself refers to the concept of recursion, reflecting the iterative learning processes of AI systems through recursive feedback loops. Additionally, it touches on a metaphysical conundrum: the ongoing, cyclical journey to define meaning in a landscape increasingly dominated by artificial simulations.
