Ad Vitam

Ad Vitam is the first piece of art to ever be made available as a store application. It features a distinct, living AI that creates an original audio-visual art stream.

Each time the application is launched, Amrita (a living, evolving artificial intelligence) is born on your device, generating the Ad Vitam experience. Your individual, distinctive artificial artist will produce a one-time stream of audio-visual works that won't be repeated. Only 20 minutes a day can be spent with Ad Vitam on your device. It will pass away once the allotted time has passed, just like everything it produced.

Ad Vitam is an art form in and of itself, as well as a software program, distributed as an application. It is the first of its kind. The artist wants to investigate the limitless expressive options provided by producing applications as artworks. This is the first experiment in that direction.

The artist also explores the concept of artwork as a living form, with its own will, personality, taste, and evolution. The inherent impermanence of a frail, digital artistic being seeks to arouse an inner connection with the timeless, ancestral concept of impermanence.
