Butcher Rules
A still from Impermanence Trajectory - the limbic nest, film 2013
STEFAN LARSSON The refine nature originates from the primitive and vice versa. That refine nature is order and primitive nature is chaos. That the resistance between them will decrease until they converge in to a state of supreme clarity. In order to reach this state AUJIK project sacred artefacts that are a crossbreed of organic and synthetic entity. The following manifestations illustrates how they interact with their artefacts. Each artefacts consists of an unique and multifaceted Artificial Intelligence (AI). By transcending emotional inputs to the artefacts artificial limbic system the AUJIK members can reveal various
areas and aspects of the artefacts minds. Examples are the artefacts selfimage, consciousness, subconsciousness, gender, affects and spirituality. This symbiosis also leads the AUJIK members to a higher awareness of the self. The video is a collaboration with Scottish electronic musician christ who made the score. The concept of the film is how Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) transcends with human emotions. In the video several examples of this is manifested by an fictional esoteric group called AUJIK.
