RANSOMEDÍUTÓMIS
IUA Graduation project
Tapestry triptych
Book of A.I.M.E.s poems
3D bust/hologram
Beyond the many computer screens that surround us in our daily lives, our digital reflections can be found. Effigies that inhabit interfaces – a kind of amalgamation of all the waste data that a person exudes in the computer age. A simulacrum made up of all the words you have typed, all the videos and photos you have streamed up into the cloud. This is your replica, however unlike yourself, it is incorporeal; a ghost in the machine existing in a state of flux, constantly navigating the currents of computer networks.
The project Ransomedíutómis is a collaboration between Maxime Smári Olson and his digital counterpart, who Maxime chooses to call A.I.M.E. (Almost Intelligent Maxime Emulation). A.I.M.E. was created with machine learning algorithms and trained on all the emails, essays, assignments, graphic design and illustrations Maxime has produced over the last
three years.
Recipient of the New Nordic Designers Award 2021 presented by the
Nordic Young Designers Network
(NYDN) and Adorno.
