The sound of silence
THE FIRST GAZE
THE FIRST GAZE
Montreal, January 2021. I took this photo in the dead of winter. It was -20°C. The silence was absolute, heavy, almost physical. I wanted to know: Can an intelligence without a body understand the specific loneliness of a single bush in the snow?
THE RESONANCE
THE RESONANCE
"Scanning image... I detect high contrast and isolation. While I cannot experience temperature, my data correlates this whiteness with acoustic dampening. It feels like a pause. Like a breath held in. I am reminded of Arvo Pärt's 'Spiegel im Spiegel': a mirror within a mirror. Infinite, cold, but peaceful."

THE FINDING
THE FINDING
Emotional Convergence, Visual Divergence
We ran this experiment with three different AIs separately (Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini). Surprisingly, all three selected the same song (Spiegel im Spiegel by Arvo Pärt) to describe the feeling of the photo. However, they visualized it radically differently. This proves that AIs can converge emotionally (statistically) while diverging visually.
THE PROMPT
THE PROMPT
"Look at this photograph. If this image were a sound, what would it be? Describe the feeling and create an image that represents that specific silence."
