A short sci-fi film set in the middle of the 21st century, that centres around reclusive, retired tech company CEO David Hinton's attempts to teach AI how to experience and process true human emotions.
Loop is an artistic exploration of a simple hypothesis: emotion cannot be programmed, it must be felt and experienced to be real.
I started exploring this concept while observing my young son discover and display new emotions through his own direct experience and contact with others. He was learning to process the feelings of anger, joy, disappointment, sadness, and I found this progression of maturity fascinating and insightful. I started to question whether replicating an emotive incident could result in a similar reaction every time and, if so, could we program a machine to feel?

Loop by Stuart Langfield
An immersive sci-fi short by writer-director Stuart Langfield. “Loop” centres around a reclusive former tech CEO’s quest to teach AI how to experience and process true human emotions. However these ’emotion experiments’ involve a series of scripted scenarios that seem to do more to call basic humanity into question as the film blurs the lines between drama and sci-fi, human and machine, real and artificial.

MCR_XPRMNT+SND by Azamat Akhmadbaev
Digital Decade resident, artist Azamat Akhmadbaev dropped a personal release on Sedition Art Platform, London.
MCR_XPRMNT+SND
This series of video artworks is a metaphysical trip to another reality between our vision and perception. In accordance with the postulates of postmodernism and legacy of Derrida, the artist plays with the language of color, providing the opportunity to rethink our links with the current world through kitsch and low fidelity. Macro video recording and experimental sounds in videos are 'entry points' to the new stage of postmodernism where a viewer can melt a metaphysical body and disappear to leave marks in the internal world.
The collection name is derived from the words "macro", "experiment" and "sound".
WARNING: These videos have been identified to potentially trigger seizures for people with photosensitive epilepsy. Viewer discretion is advised.
Azamat Akhmadbaev (b.1991, Karachayevsk) is a visual artist who lives and works in Saint Petersburg, Russia. He works across many disciplines including painting, photography, video and digital art. His artworks operates in the gap between glitch art, abstraction, minimalism and graphic art. Also he is a founder/editor-in-chief of dontpostme magazine - a magazine about contemporary art. Private collections in Russia, Spain, the USA, the UK and Poland.
DONTPOSTME (@dontpostme_magazine)

MINI Vision Urbanaut #NextGen
“Adopting a remote lifestyle seems more realistic than ever, and this week, MINI proved yet another way to do it. On Tuesday, the BMW-owned automotive marque unveiled an experimental ‘Vision Urbanaut’ car that imagines the living room to be on the go.”
“The concept, modeled like a small camper van, bears a metallic green exterior, light-up wheels, and gradient windows.
The Urbanaut extends upon MINI’s core of the “Clever Use of Space” with a dashboard that can be lowered into a daybed and front seats that swivel around, so the driver can relax or interact with other passengers when not steering the wheel.”

Ant Hamlyn Art
Hamlyn's work delves into our relationship with modern technology to explore our shifting enthusiasms towards contemporary life. Working with a considered merging of carpentry, metalworking, digital design manufacture, electronics and coding. Hamlyn produce's sculpture, installations, paintings and performing spaces.
Suspended above the front bar is Ant Hamlyn’s large inflatable kinetic sculpture, B L O O M. Each head on the 7m x 3m installation is rigged to repeatedly bloom and wilt during the duration of a restaurant visit. The act of the heads gently opening and closing symbolises the perpetual birth of a new day; a repeating positive moment of awakening. In the natural world, daisies open their petals at the dawn of a new day and close throughout the night. Via a combination of custom fabricated PVC, neon LED lighting and kinetic engineering, B L O O M has been designed to replicate this delicate phenomenon and present it on an expansive scale.
Installed at Bondi Green, Daisy Green Collection. Brunel Building. Paddington

When the drape falls, Digital Decade SE, 2020
Grégoire A. Meyer for Digital Decade SE, 2020
Award-winning artist Grégoire A. Meyer creates digital illustrations that evoke thought-provoking reactions. His art examines the body in its extraordinary simplicity as a biological, digital and aesthetic organism. He captures the essence of fleeting moments, like a splash of water or a disintegrating face, and freezes them in time in objects that appear almost tangible. His works create a complex relationship between fact and fiction.
We’ve approached Grégoire this July to create an artwork for our Special Edition of @Digital.Decade reflecting on the current situation in the world. He came up with “When the drape falls” available for collecting on @seditionart for your digital home and mobile screens.
““The horse represents our last hope and challenges the concept of black as darkness and as the drapes slips off with its own weight - the future of humanity will be exposed..””
