Apophenia: it happens all the time. We see faces in the clouds, connections in phone numbers. Someday, when there's a visual component to mind transfer between our brains and computers, you can bet we'll see patterns in the static. Perhaps ahead of this curve, then, are today's artists working in glitch, using errors—the human parts of software—to give meaning to what we today comprehend as boundless data realm.

These patterns come alive in the new video from The Dataists—visualist Maggy Almao and sound designer Antoine Marroncles. Polygonal busts distort, particles burst, and the utter chaos of the theoretical world is made at once human and horrifying. Once we're post-human, will we remember having been?
