Organoid Latent Space 1, 2024; Generative AI image based on Oankali sculpture detail images
Organoid Latent Space materializes the AI's neural territory where Oankali tissue samples undergo digital metamorphosis. Generated from sculptural detail prompts, this work reveals the machine's interpretation of alien cellular structures—translating tactile pantyhose flesh and synthetic fur into algorithmic visions of hybrid becoming. The resulting imagery occupies a liminal space between organic growth and computational dreaming, where Butler's gene-trading aliens exist as latent possibilities within the AI's high-dimensional vector space. These digital mutations directly inspired the birth of Albatross, demonstrating how artificial neural networks can midwife new sculptural forms from existing alien anatomies. Here, the organoid becomes both biological speculation and technological artifact—a glimpse into how machine consciousness might reimagine interspecies intimacy.
