Miao Ying’s Mutual Conditioning investigates the reciprocal training processes that govern human cognition and artificial intelligence. Situated within the utilitarian environment of a carpark, the presentation pairs two live simulations with two oil paintings. Operating under datasets rigorously trained and conditioned by the artist, the simulations generate perpetually evolving landscapes composed of generic video-game assets, underscored by AI-voiced poems that traverse themes of technomancy, fantasy politics, and algorithmic ritual. Miao methodically channels the images birthed by these artistic systems into a secondary AI primed for textual interpretation, which are then meticulously translated into oil on canvas by traditionally trained painters. By oscillating between virtual generation and manual execution, Miao stages a loop of production where magic, ideology, and technology converge—revealing the shifting boundaries between human creativity and automated creation.
