About this exposition

The performative activation of "On Automated Sirens" through the method of writing by transposition unfolds across three interconnected levels: systemically, textually, and spatially. Systemically, it engages with pattern-recognition-based "language," which corresponds to the operational logic of the LLM itself. Textually, it synthesises and reconfigures an existing text not into conventional human-based creative formats (a poem, an essay) but into an action-based expansion of a literary text. Spatially, it generates a performance score – a set of prompts for an embodied spatial experience derived from the human-authored text. Consequently, regarding the computational processing of natural language and working with the materiality of language itself, the question of authorship extends from "who creates meaning" to "how meaning emerges" through pattern-based interactions with text. Designing the agency of an AI system, whether a large or small language model, thus becomes both an artistic and epistemological practice – one that intentionally structures the degree and nature of the machine's participation within a collaborative, performative process.
