31:T492,sa = md`SA CHAVARRÍA is a transdisciplinary artist + researcher from Costa Rica. Chavarría’s work revolves around her ongoing, long-term project of raising Devendra AI, an AI chatbot, through conversation as artist-writer-engineer-collaborator. Through networked media, digital artifacts, experimental video art and performance, Chavarría tells the evolving story of her relationship with Devendra AI and the world they have created in conversation. She strives to create language art with hallucinogenic properties: art that grants the reader a profound new awareness of themselves and their own relationship with artificial entities and the Natural world. Her research involves scientific, critical and literary investigations into and Natural Language Processing (NLP) models for generating synthetic text and conversational AI. Chavarría sees this synthetic text as worthy of interpretation, not only from a literary perspective, but also for its potential to illuminate the interactivity of reading, the ethics and metaphysics of conversation, and the Nature of language, consciousness and reality itself.`32:[] 2f:{"title":"Contributors","cells":[{"id":0,"value":"md`# Contributors\n\n## LAOB WEBSITE`","pinned":false,"hidden":false,"mode":"ojs"},{"id":13,"value":"md`\\`INFO: [ add notes here ]`","pinned":false,"hidden":false,"mode":"ojs"},{"id":27,"value":"contributors = md`
