Selfmaking combines sound and sculpture highlighting how creation, circulation and preservation of cultural information underlies geographical contexts, patterns of displacement, and statelessness. It reflects on how individual narrative and collective memory are shaped through cultural property, cultural currency, and their inherent symbolic meanings.\n\nThis post-digital-historical artifact can be understood as a display of plurality, representation of new origins emerging from their archival ancestors, and an optimistic re-evaluation of future archaeological remains. Sandstone, a delicate and fragile material, was chosen as the substrate for this 3d printed object, to emphasize the ephemerality, mutability and temporality. In addition, a two-channel audio was created as a guide, by feeding the official descriptions for the original objects from the British Museum into OpenAI\u2019s language model called GPT-2. This artificial intelligence generated audio guide allows the piece to state its presence in an augmented way that intensifies its unrealness and makes a further commentary on creating a counter narrative for future material objects of culture.","space":"A white pedestal with dimensions of 20 x 25 x 110 cm, 1 pair of white wireless headphones, an mp3 player with bluetooth functionality are needed for the installation of the piece.","artists_proposal":null,"members":[],"lang":"en","status":"ok","video_link_password":null,"video_link":null,"audio_link_password":null,"audio_link":null,"images_link_password":null,"images_link":null,"cellphone":null,"description":null,"estimated_budget":null,"complementary_info":null,"names":"Yagmur","surname":"Uyanik","email":"yagmuruyanik@gmail.com","dni_type":"Other","dni":"12727617980","address":"1511 9th Ave. Apt. 3","city":"San Francisco","nacionality":"Turkish","country_id":"236","birthdate":"1992-10-17T21:00:00.000Z","birthdate_2":"1992-10-17T21:00:00.000Z","telephone":"+14157124585","web":"yagmuruyanik.com"}
