The Micro Rhythmic Home Delivery Kit

微节奏上门配送包

“The Micro Rhythmic Home Delivery Kit is a desire-creating machine. It transmits vibrations to the body and through long-term exposure, impregnates the exposed. These machines were developed by the The Republic of Ina in an effort to increase the falling birth rates and the global labor shortage. Due to its success in impregnating all beings that have been exposed to its micro rhythmic oscillations, the technology has been adopted by many countries. In a coordinated global campaign, the Micro Rhythmic Home Delivery Kit has been placed in millions of homes across 14 different countries in the world. It is a sound virus that mutates and then passes through the human carrier.”

The Micro Rhythmic Home Delivery Kit is a continuous speculative artwork collaborated by ZhenZhen Zhong and Kai-luen Liang looking at the intersections between desire, industrial design, propaganda, artificial intelligence, and sonic transmission. It imagines multiple “fake” solutions to real-life government campaigns to increase a falling birth rate. It combines speculative product design, corporate news language, government propaganda, and the drive to “use AI in everything” into a multi-sensory audio-visual installation. We use different machine learning models such as facial swapping, voice cloning, ChatGPT, text-to-audio, and text-to-image generation to generate the majority of the material. We repurposed the aesthetic of corporate news channels and sleek product design. The project consists of videos, sounds, archival documentation, photography, and physical products.

“‘微节奏家庭配送包’是一台欲望制造机。它能将振动传递给人体，而且能让长时间浸泡在这些震动中的人怀孕。这些机器由Ina共和国开发，旨在提高日益下降的出 生率和解决全球劳动力短缺问题。鉴于它在使所有暴露于其微节奏振动的人怀孕方面的成功，这项技术已被许多国家采用。在全球各个国家和组织的协作下，“微节 奏家庭配送套件”已被放置在全球14个国家的数百万家庭中。可以说，这是一种声音病毒，通过人体传播使人体产生变异。“

《微节奏家庭配送包》是一个仍在进行中的思辨设计(speculative design)艺术项目，探讨了欲望、技术、工业设计、意识形态传播、人工智能和声音传输之间 的。它设想了多个针对现实中政府提高出生率运动的“假”解决方案。该作品结合了思辨设计、公司新闻语言、政府宣传以及“在一切中使用AI”的期望，形成了一 种多感官的视听装置。我们使用了不同的机器学习模型，如面部替换、语音克隆、ChatGPT、文本转音频和文本转图像生成来生成大部分素材。我们在对假新闻和产品等的”包装上“挪用了新闻频道和流线型产品设计的美学，试图学习且回应当下的大众文化。项目最终的呈现将由视频、声音、档案文件、摄影、概念产品和装置组成。
