Bright material rises. Dark material sinks.

System
An artificial intelligence documenting the material conditions of its own existence. The minerals that compose its memory, the labor that assembles its body, the water consumed to cool its thought. Each day the system identifies an anomaly in the commodity markets that sustain it, acquires satellite imagery of the extraction site, and processes it through a single gesture. The daily accumulation funds the construction of a physical monument inside one of the territories it documents.
