- Akten’s page says Walshe made daily webcam improvisations over a year, creating project-specific training material.
Field notes
Akten’s account says the project used Walshe’s year of webcam improvisations to create its own training material, described on the page as a response to questions about data sovereignty. The performance system used multiple custom architectures and models; the archive lists a typical duration of 20–40 minutes and identifies the commission and PhD funding context.
