Collapser (Roberto Alonso Trillo and Marek Poliks) present new research in the interaction between deep learning and social behavior in a book published by CRC Press (Taylor & Francis). Coleomataand the accompanying podcast series, Disintegrator.
“From a certain point on, some members of humanity began to correlate existence with vulnerability. Things are shattered, stripped of their Heideggerian usefulness, cut off from their ideal form by virtue of their deformity. It may be said that it truly exists only if it exists.”
At this very moment, artificial intelligence is in some ways at its most vulnerable. After all, AI can only truly make mistakes if it can. AI can actually provoke or reinforce structural social problems only if deployed by forces that can mobilize social power. In order, Coleomata's The publication is timely. This is the moment when AI can be said to actually exist in its own right, not as a radical innovation in as-yet-emerging ontological categories or calculations, but rather as a social, aesthetic, and political contingency. It exists as a specific flow.
Regarding the title: Coleomata. This automaton represents a Turing machine that flutters around unconsciously as it implicitly executes a series of instructions. This is a concept of machine behavior that attributes unearned autonomy to the digital or mechanical realm. Instead, Choreomaton grapples with the hidden cables and intertwined puppet strings that link mere robots to the unfathomably chaotic protocols of global calculation, hegemonic technological capital, and postmodern civilization. These often contradictory protocols, such as computational reasons, geopolitical arenas, corporate ethology, and downstream and upstream social reingestion, allow AI to claim itself as contingent and therefore real. produces strange and creepy behavior. This book cuts headlong into the performative poetics of fragmented golems, ghosts, and avatars through which we, the authors, interpret our own place in the dense hyperdimensional choreography of artificial intelligence. I can.
Coleomata is a book about performance and performativity, but more specifically about the performance of artificiality and the performance of intelligence. This book passionately argues that both humans and human-designed computational power are thoroughly involved in the complex mutual performance of AI.

Coleomata's Research institutes are strengthened through relevant podcasts Disintegrators, algorithms, techno-capital, a snapshot of contemporary subjects disintegrating under operating regimes of geological scale. The biweekly episodes feature commentary from some of the biggest names in the field (Benjamin Bratton, Alex Reisner, etc.), as well as some of the book's authors (Refik Anadolu, Anil Bawa Caviar, Reza Negarestani, Sasha Stiles, etc.) .apply disintegrator on major online distribution platforms.
Marek Polix
Marek Polix is Independent artist, engineer, and theorist based in Minneapolis, Minnesota. He is fascinated by the historical determination of modern subjectivity and watches as its modern expressions are dismantled and liquefied under the regime of algorithmic capital. He works on machine learning applied to sound, digital media, robotics, and sculpture.
roberto alonso
Roberto Alonso Trillo is an artist, musician, and theorist based in Hong Kong and Europe who works as an assistant professor at HKBU. His practice explores connections between different artistic disciplines, from music and dance to video art, sculpture, and digital media. His recent research investigates the networked, hybrid practices characteristic of a world increasingly mediated by AI and machine learning. Roberto's research is conducted at the intersection of philosophy, sociology, and cultural studies.
