    The Lowest of Low have sent this gorgeously-printed and designed CD Digipack of their 6th album back to us from the year 2418, an advisory time capsule from the future world line towards which our current socio-economical and socio-political trajectories will place us… well, it’s a fun and chilling dystopian sci-fi story told through music, anyway, and comes with a fantastic specially designed 24-page art booklet. Made (down the the last pixel and byte) to elicit in you the kind of audio-visual-tactile enjoyment of vinyl, but in a digipack format. Conceived and realised entirely in Italy, this (like all our digipacks) ships from Rome to your doorstep anywhere on this planet. Shipping is included in the price.

about

We pull back from the grand overview, however, into the domestic life of a human and her companion robot in Algorithmic Hearts. Here, we discover not only that the highly sophisticated AI learning algorithms are capable of logically comprehending quite complicated human constructs (relationships, feelings), but that they are also capable of readjusting themselves at will. We also realise that the messy psychology and tricky behaviour of comfortable and “civilised” humans hasn’t changed very much at all in centuries. We can begin to understand how the consciousness of injustice and human cruelty arises in even the most earnestly good-willed algorithmic entities, and we are reminded that no matter how intelligent and logical we might be, and no matter how earnestly we pursue understanding, matters of the heart can often lead to complete and incomprehensible breakdown. We catch sight of how the T.U.R.F message, with networked experiential and knowledge systems, finds a growing support from many different classes of domestic robots who work closely with humans.

The Lowest of Low Sicily, Italy

The entity known as The Lowest of Low currently resides in Sicily, Italy because someone has to, and it's cheap (for Europe) even if there's no work for aliens or outsiders there. So she lives as a hermit and makes music and art and is currently engaged in single-handedly creating a 3-season animated series called VOID. Because to not do these things is a greater death than death itself. ... more
