‘check out what these stuffed toys have to say about the works of the hottest new artists’ is a performative automation of the constant cycle of being fed, consuming, reacting to and discussing content.

The content is fetched using an unofficial Instagram API, using a disposable Instagram account with no posts or prior history. The content is then consumed by a chat-based AI model being asked to provide an analysis on the post, where they are instructed that the post is an artwork.

This creates a surreal discourse between the two models, where they are artificially overanalysing and arguing about content which generally is viewed for less than ten seconds.

After the conversation, they are immediately fed another post as the cycle continues.
