In "Seven Traits," Patrick Tresset explores the "Seven Deadly Sins" by reframing them as "baseline programming" rather than moral lapses. Tresset suggests that these behaviors are humans' default state. Rather than focusing on contemporary crises like untamed capitalism, wars or environmental disaster, he views these inherent traits as the unchanging roots from which all global issues originate, shifting the human struggle from resisting temptation to the impossible task of evolving beyond our own biological and cultural software.

The artistic execution of this series relies on a dialogue between two AI agents: a storyteller and an artist to produce animated and still fables about us. Using a technique reminiscent of William Kentridge’s moving drawings, the system employs a continuous cycle of drawing, erasing, and overdrawing on a single surface. Tresset intentionally limits the artist agent to basic tools such as lines, circles, and scribbles, allowing the machine's own logic to dictate the style. This process moves away from human emotional influence, resulting in a cryptic and "naive" visual language akin to a computational Art Brut.
