Entangled Matter: AI, Humans and Golems

Entangled Matter: AI, Humans and Golems is an installation that takes the Golem of Jewish folklore, a creature brought to life and wholly controlled by human written text, and imagines it as matter that cannot be controlled. Clay figures sculpted by hand are scanned and animated inside a virtual world, where a small language model gives them speech; the questions they generate become prompts for new AI-generated forms, which return to the hands that sculpt the next Golem. Humans, machines and matter interpret one another, and none of them holds the loop. The piece asks: can agency be engraved in matter?
