A multifarious collective of AI text and image generators get tangled in a feedback loop and hallucinate what resembles a journal. From diverse representations dredged from cyberspace, the AIs disgorge anodyne narratives and fantastical features by turns. Imagery edges into the absurd when not bland, pseudonymous renderings. Eventually, graphics dissipate into a bio-angular ataxia. Texts fragment into cryptic, machine-language runes. The algorithms imagine they are producing a sequel, or successor, of an obscure, possibly fictional, magazine from the turn of the century. They call it The News of the Whirled.
