We

Multi-channel video created using the StyleGan neural network. We trained the neural network on video with human movements, and then repeated these movements using the network. Thus, the view of the algorithm on a person from the outside is obtained. Peculiar memories, not limited to human experience. This work is a reflection on the theme of intimacy, consciousness and privacy. On the boundaries of the body and corporeality, which are considered from the side of the mathematical algorithm. On the one hand, we know the word "corporality", which over time changes its meaning - from the opposite of "spirituality" to some visible part of the soul. A complex concept that has both spatial boundaries, and social interaction, and experience that exists before any thinking. On the other hand, we have computer vision - a view from the neural network at us. The neural network, as a mathematical algorithm, does not have the same “corporeality” or human life experience. And, perhaps, therefore, does not perceive our bodies as something that has clear boundaries.
