Determination Resonates From Intent (2021)

Film & Installation (Corsica Studios, London, 06-21)
Collaboration with Bryan Kerr

 An AI narrator, created from the speech and written words of the artists, conducts a walk through a strange amalgam of Paisley and Southwark; ruminating as it goes on the landscape, the struggles of the Left, Robert Tannahill, canals, barriers, the 1926 General Strike and much more.

The AI algorithm takes on meaning from past learned behaviours, weighting the connections depending on the perceived mood of the words for each location.  Multiple probabilities of narrative are tested until a dominant narrative emerges and is converted to speech, lyrically articulating the paths taken.




>Ruaridh Law is an artist and musician based in North Ayrshire, Scotland.

>Over 20 years he has performed in groups, in collaborations and solo across a wide range of festivals, arts spaces, venues and clubs as performer, improviser, DJ and artist. His >mediums include sound and installation art, film and writing. His works have ranged from intimate audio performance and gallery installations to large-scale outdoor works >combining sound walks, improvised performance and experimental storytelling.

>His artistic focusses are on data-visualisation, human voices and their stories, unusual paradigms for performance and composing, and marrying abstraction to a beating human >heart. These have manifested themselves in a tarot deck that generates music, sequential stories told over film and radio, right-wing propaganda twisted and sanitised into more >worthwhile content and a walk through a forest and its imagined mythologies in the dead of night – as well as countless CD, DVD, vinyl and other music releases.

>He runs several record labels and, more recently, No Roof Only Sky, a small press publisher.
