The first artwork in "Consciousness and World Languages: A.I. Interpretation" was generated by a cartel of adversarial A.I. Algorithms which – in a quest to understand humanity’s path of self-destruction through human-induced crises on climate, biodiversity, geopolitics, and others- conceptualized the ‘protoTower of Babylon’, modeled after the ancient Tower of Babel where the world’s languages became fragmented and humanity became divided.  In its quest for semantic Genesis, the A.I. incorporated ancient and indigenous languages like Sanskrit and Nahuatl, world languages like Japanese and Afrikaan, mathematics, physics and music as languages,, among other representations of meaning and Consciousness.
