"Flow of Imperfection" is a distinctive manifesto dedicated to the phenomenon of the error. We, neuro-artists, exist within a stream of constantly evolving technologies. They are becoming more perfect, and therefore, more sterile. There are fewer and fewer hallucinations and serendipitous mistakes. On one hand, this provides control and reduces time/money costs, but on the other, it eliminates unpredictability and the sense of magic. The mirage of a "living machine" is fading. Neural networks are turning into a tool of commerce.

In the works created for "Flow of Imperfection," we explored the phenomenon of the error in its many forms: from the physical—glitches, pixels, distorted colors, and poor generations—to the conceptual, such as a distorted gaze or even a distorted universe. Through our exploration, we demonstrate that not all perfection is worthy of attention, nor is every flaw worthy of oblivion.

The exhibition "Flow of Imperfection" begins with a portal to the source of errors created by the artists of the Berezovy Prompt community.

The viewer enters a zone of glitch and reboot—where familiar images blur, points of reference lose their stability, and perception itself begins to shift. Each work within the portal is an invitation into its own world of a birch neurogrove. Mine pulls you into "Childish Errors."

The work "Childish Errors" explores imperfection as a space for the living and organic. I use a puzzle assembled inaccurately by my son and process it through a neural network to show how the errors of a child and the errors of a machine become a source of new imagery. The neural network learns much like a child—through inaccuracies and biases. The animation captures this process: a world assembling and disintegrating anew, preserving a flow of imperfection in which a sense of life is born.
