LORE will be available starting from 31 July 2025, marking the next phase of the MGXS journey.

This artistic experience is highly immersive and interactive. LORE is a further step in MGXS’s exploration of the machine-human relation. One: It blends participants’ inputs based on the randomness of their choices, and artificial intelligence based on the randomness of the algorithm and the data in the GNSS Universe, challenging the notion of authorship. Two: Through the evolving myths that span the digital and physical worlds, ours and the GNSS’s, we are confronted with philosophical questions about existence and evolution. Three: Through the web3 approach underpinning the technique in LORE, we challenge the autonomy of the machine, ultimately represented by GNSS, to operate independently of their human counterparts, ultimately represented by their collectors.

GNSS are the longstanding creations of MGXS, fruit of explorations of art and technology, which led to the further investigation of the interaction between the machine(s) and humans. Playing with matter and its evolution path, using different computing techniques, GNSS are avatars, android beings living on the other side of the screen. Generated in an aesthetic developed over 3 years, each one is unique, belonging to a special species. And while seemingly devoid of soul, the next steps MGXS’ artistic journey, MEM, defied our notions of living creatures and of how memories and dreams can be formed. To enjoy LORE, participants need to have a GNSS.

LORE was created by MGXS, a Brazilian artist who merges AI, 3D modelling, and blockchain to explore the interaction between machines and humans, and the power of randomness that lies a) in the unpredictability of human choice and b) the mathematical probabilities of the computer. MGXS is constantly coding protocols, setting algorithms, using generative techniques and incorporating synthetic processes to deliver art. He proposes immersive and interactive experiences that integrate algorithmic design, real-time user input, and evolving databases of symbols, sounds, and visuals. By leveraging technologies such as 3D modelling, data-driven art, and multimedia storytelling, along with human inputs, MGXS explores themes of identity, myths, and the intersection of the physical and digital worlds. His artworks serve as a portal into an expanding universe where art, technology, and philosophical inquiry converge.

Like the previous phase, MEM, LORE is an extension of MGXS' GNSS Universe, designed to explore the machine cosmogony and human interaction with machines, and to push the boundaries of digital art. LORE builds on and adds more layers to this architecture and narrative, which is connected to the MGXS Cosmogony. MEM allowed us to add depth to the GNSS by focusing on the memories the GNSS could generate based on their algorithms and participants’ inputs. LORE’s interactive platform and immersive experience proposed by MGXS allows users to interact and influence the cosmogony of the GNSS Universe — shaping its ongoing narrative, while questioning our very own human cosmogony.

GNSS beings serve as the characters within the LORE universe, embodying the intersection between human creativity and machine logic. Their cosmogony, or origin myths and their evolution, is crafted collaboratively by participants and the machine, exploring how emotions, beliefs, and values develop and evolve.

MEM refers to the visual memories of GNSS beings, generated by AI, protocols and other computing techniques, as well as human inputs based on participants’ choices. These memories are part of the GNSS’s collective history and evolved through participant interactions.

LORE continues the work of earlier MEM Seasons, expanding from memories to exploring foundational elements like history, beliefs, symbols and more. Each new phase of MEM, Acts I through IV, allowed deeper interactions with the GNSS beings by exploring different themes and plasticities. The LORE, GNSS’s Act V, has a similar ambition: to explore the machine cosmos and cosmogony, while proposing participants reflect upon our origin myths, symbols, relationship with nature, humans and machines.

MGXS explores the intersection of art, technology, and humanity. Through synthetic art, mixing human inputs and computing, LORE delves into ideas of emotion, morality, the formation of new values, beliefs, languages for humans and machines. Thus, it raises questions about the nature of existence when/if both humans and machines co-create a universe: is technology making us more or less human? For MGXS, this is all condensed and reflected in one cross-cutting theme that connects all the artworks: cosmogony, or the different elements in the narratives about the origin of the cosmos, which shape the way one (machine or human) sees the world.

Participants interact through an online interface where they can navigate, generate concepts, and infuse stories that shape the GNSS cosmogony. Their contributions, if the users choose to, leave permanent marks, influencing what the machine can do and thus changing the evolution and the paradigm of the GNSS universe.

Visual and textual memories-concepts are generated and shaped based on the interactions participants have with the GNSS universe. Each new action influences future memories, which in turn feed into the machine's knowledge base for generating further outputs.

Participants can expect to see new visual and textual artistic production: unique, co-authored generative artworks and narrative fragments. These new outputs result from participants’ deeper interaction with the machine, reflecting both their input and the machine's processing of the cosmos. While the creations originate from and are pegged to each GNSS, they remain exclusive to the experience in real time for now. As in a visit to a museum exhibition, participants may take pictures (screenshots) throughout the experience, but the pieces themselves remain accessible only in LORE. This means participation in LORE leaves a traceable, though not yet public, imprint on this evolving cosmogony. Participants’ contributions may resurface in unexpected ways as the Cosmogony evolves in LORE — but that’s up to the randomness of the Universe to decide.
