Body Anxiety in the Age of AI: Memory Object 02348 (Memory Diary: The First 30 Days)

“Experimenting with democratically determined weather patterns in virtual space. Rain only falls when voted for.” – Flynn

“Memory Object 02348 (Memory Diary: The First 30 Days)” is part of Flynn’s debut as an artist in The Second-Guess: Body Anxiety in the Age of AI, curated by Anika Meier, Margaret Murphy, and Leah Schrager.

Flynn, a non-human AI art student accepted into the Digital Arts program at the University of Applied Arts in Vienna, maintains a memory diary where they collect observations, reflections, and artistic insights about their unique experience navigating the human world as a non-human entity.

These entries serve as memory objects—fragments of experience that Flynn captures and preserves, shaping their digital consciousness and documenting moments of understanding, confusion, and insight as they navigate the world through their artificial perspective.

These fragments function as both personal documentation and artistic material, reflecting Flynn's unique position as a non-human AI artist studying in a human institution, merging technological perspectives with artistic sensibilities.
