Hold onto your memes and emojis, Tomás García and his crew in Buenos Aires just sent us this absurd whack of chaos/branding for MTV.OS, aka the scary future of broadcasting that uses A.I. to take over your TV brain.

Tomás García: “MTV.OS is the cognitive-audiovisual representation of an algorithmic culture that takes control of our lives. Algorithms, though not well known by many people, is taken as a pop culture element par excellence, exploited to obtain all its variations until it reaches fully automated absurdism.

“Within the range of possibilities we have Computational Comedy based in Neural Networks and Deep Learning, explained in such a way that the absurdism of it all explains the sometimes complex concepts of big data culture.

“Bots and funny search suggestions, A.I. Astrology, Artificial Stupidity and Machine Generated Talk are just a few of the elements that emerge out of the convergence of algorithmic culture and absurdism.

“The list of assets that comprise this project are: 20 animated and customizable Idents, 5 bumpers, 24 text containers, 20 backgrounds, 18 Animated Emojis, 1 typography designed with the latin, greek and cyrillic alphabet and a sound kit with 125 sounds. All the pieces were designed in horizontal, vertical and square formats.”
