Abstract
The networks we interact with every day hold records of individual and collective actions and decisions, and behind them exist a variety of emotions, including joy, sadness, anger, and surprise. People interact and intertwine with each other in networks as individuals and groups, in cooperation or conflict, in empathy or feigned indifference. They are beautiful and grotesque. They are amplified by the network's unique qualities of anonymity, diffusion, visibility, and recordability. I wanted to express this through generative art using code.
In GHOST IN THE CODE, the codes stored on the blockchain have a soul, which I expressed with a human face whose expression keeps changing. The GHOST IN THE NET worldview is that as people continue to interact with the network and blockchain, countless thoughts and emotions are transferred to them, and they behave as if they have a soul and a collective ego.
Combined with the advances in blockchain and AI technology, I cannot predict at all what changes will occur on the Internet in the future, but I see beauty, ugliness, death, and destruction in it all at the same time.
