Why interstices
Describe what could be considered an empty space Formed by the bodies that create them
How are the spaces produced, under what conditions are they created. Not inheritently revolutionary, and not necessarily a space that is unoccupied or an open space. Thinking materially about this space.
Gap enable things to fill it, or restrict movement. Dependant on the infrastructure it creates. What particular configurations this gap sets in motion.
Latency, unidentified nodes and the web, physical cables and data centres.
Is the gap empty of have we learnt not how to perceive Working within existing infrastructures, experimenting with limitation, enhabiting opacities. Gap is location and a condition.

Extend a bit for a journal article for APRJA collective and conversational peer review Deadline after the festival (August July)
Katie Lecturer at Goldsmiths at Computational arts, and Camberwell Fine Art Member of an arts and technologists collective called in-grid that works around the idea of systems and infrastructures I’m an artist and am interested in authorship, unstable authorship, appropriation, piracy and collective authorship. My thing am thinking about he genre of the gothic as a constructive cognitive model which has the potential to make legible issues of appropriation in generative ai systems. In particular, I argue that the gothic’s vocabulary of unstable authorship and hidden architecture offers a productive lens for interrogating how generative AI reproduces style and trope without an author to claim them. Further to that where does it sit in relation to communal and personal practices in which pseudonymous/collective authorship is used as a starting position: when authorship is already treated as unstable by design?
