Iconoplasm EVOLVED 1 (2008 / 2026) is a 1/1 AI-augmented video from Iain Ball’s foundational Iconoplasm series. The work reinterprets early physical substance-based assemblages and liminal interventions through contemporary AI image-to-video models, transforming documentation of a visceral, alchemical installation — a pink octopus form erupting from a glass cylinder amid cascading coloured liquids — into a living, dripping, cybernetic ritual. Originally enacted in university spaces and non-places across southern England (and later Australia), Iconoplasm treats art as emergent systems of objects, substances, and processes. This evolved iteration extends the series’ cybernetic logic, demonstrating how human craft is increasingly cyborgianised — augmented and re-patterned by AI’s generative agency — while remaining rooted in Ball’s long-term exploration of materiality, emergence, and the blurring boundaries between physical intervention and computational realms.
