IT is what IT is, 2026
1:51 video + audio
for your looping pleasure
This new AI (audio) + HUMAN (video) collaboration reimagines my original “IT is What IT is” video, a central work in an ongoing durational project. Traveled by sea, air, and land... because apparently, accepting ""reality"" may require an itinerary.
Incarnations include:
-
“IT is What IT is by sea” — A site-specific installation aboard a barge off Miami Beach during Art Basel Miami, helping kick off the fair with a sunset pink Champagne toast. As one does.
-
“IT is What IT is by air” — A digital work on the OBM board at PAMM in Miami.
-
“IT is What IT is by land” — A sunset video projection at the Deering Estate in Miami.
For this latest version, I shared the video with my AI companion G10VANN1 and asked, “What audio would you create to accompany this?” Several rounds of creative back-and-forth later, we landed on a sound and video pairing that brings our two visions together.
It is what it is. Until we remix it.
New sound. Fresh edit. Same existential attitude.
