Shatter the Synarch is an experimental collaborative project between Dave Sebek and bleeding-edge frontier generative AI models and software.
The work treats artificial intelligence as a volatile studio counterpart: part instrument, part adversary, part mirror. Compositions, images, text, and systems are pushed through human judgment until the machine signal becomes something stranger, sharper, and more deliberate.
Stratagems documents that process as an instrumental campaign, built from recursive prompts, edited accidents, adversarial taste, and the pressure of a human hand refusing to let automation have the final word.
