"Endless Kiss merges classic media and AI technology to question how intimacy will be expressed in our digitized future. Here, an AI trained on iconic Hollywood kisses attempts to reproduce the classic image of love but can’t quite get it right. The resulting meditative film depicts an AI-generated couple caught in an endless embrace, rhythmically pulsating. But are we to trust this conventional representation of intimacy or be repulsed by its inhuman origins?"

Adam is an American new media artist working at the intersection of art and technology. He is currently based in the UK and recently completed his master's degree at the Creative Computing Institute within University of the Arts London. His work spans both the digital and physical and focuses on the various ways identity and intimacy are mediated through technology. Using an innovative computational practice, he explores these themes using microprocessors, 3D rendering engines, creative coding algorithms, and AI networks. With a keen interest in the history of images, Adam's work attempts to continue a queer tradition of twisting popular media conventions to reveal unspoken double meanings.
