Description

From the listing uploaded by “loggirl”.

I Magma by Jenna Sutela in collaboration with Memo Akten and Allison Parrish is a machine oracle performing divinations on our collective futures. The decentralised intelligence meditates on live video footage from inside head-shaped lava lamps, while weaving constellations between the GPS coordinates of its online followers. A computer generates oracular readings from the shapes that form using a neural network trained on public domain source texts from the Internet Sacred Texts Archive. Additional lexical items are inspired by and borrowed from Erowid’s Shulgin Archives, a series of lab notebooks that detail psychedelic experience. Readings appear within the app every 30 seconds and as push notifications once a day. Jenna Sutela is an artist working with words, sounds, and other living media, such as Bacillus subtilis nattō bacteria and the “many-headed” slime mold Physarum polycephalum. Her audiovisual pieces, sculptures, and performances seek to identify and react to precarious social and material moments, often in relation to technology. Jenna Sutela with Memo Akten, language generation by Allison Parrish, 2019 UI and app development by Black Shuck Co-commissioned by Serpentine Galleries and Moderna Museet Eurotica Bugs typeface by Helsinki Type Studio Supported on Android 8.0 and above Digital engagement supported by Bloomberg Philanthropies. The Serpentine Galleries is supported using public funding by Arts Council England.

I Magma APK: questions and answers

Can I install this APK over the version I already have?

Only if it is signed with the same certificate as the copy on your phone and isn't an older version. If Android says “App not installed”, the certificates differ; uninstalling your copy first works but deletes its data unless it is backed up.

Is the I Magma APK safe?

No one can promise that a file is safe, but some things can be checked. The source store rates this file Unknown. After downloading, check that the file's MD5 is 9dcb0ef496c03c7ddd94efa9eab29755.
