Wicca Diffusion by Shoshana Vajda
A mysterious Hungarian mystic named Shoshana Vajda wrote to the label’s mail proposing a release of neural network ritualistic binaural soundscapes. Shoshana, a self-defined witch and PyTorch programmer, understands deep learning synthesis not as generation but as conjuration: “The entity transforming noise into a sonic phantasmagoria is truly a numerical demon; engineers conjure these demons from the infinite realm of statistic inference. The artist, in dialogue with the demon, is a mystical medium that tries to establish a connection with the stochastic domain and translates back her experience into intelligible forms. It is data witchcraft. I call my practice ‘Wicca Diffusion’”.
