Infinite Mesh

Infinite Mesh is both a story generator and an ongoing meditation on automation. From a given prompt, this program outputs a video file and an accompanying comic book. At its heart lies the question: how can a synthesis between large language models and stable diffusion image models create a semblance of originality? Infinite Mesh makes use of human input to achieve this kind of originality. Either in the form of a selection of books made by the author or through the user’s prompt, Infinite Mesh’s architecture of language models is thrown into an indefinite amount of scenarios that lead to virtually infinite variability. The imagery of this piece makes use of a specifically made LoRA, reminiscent of retro anime, slightly distorted, tending to the uncanny. By mixing human stories with AI idiosyncrasies, Infinite Mesh presents a parallel kind of storytelling, one marked by the happy accidents of a ‘blind’ system of language models. With the indefinite or the infinite as its focal point, this program functions as a constant dialogue between users and AI, an ongoing story-making process limited only by its usage.
