In order to reach a state of supreme clarity AUJIK projects sacred artifacts that are a crossbreed of organic and synthetic entity. The following manifestations illustrates how they interact with their artifacts. Each artifact consists of an unique and multifaceted Artificial Intelligence (AI).
By transcending emotional inputs to the artifacts artificial limbic system, the AUJIK members can reveal various areas and aspects of the artifacts’ minds. Examples are the artifacts self-image, consciousness, sub-consciousness, gender, affects and spirituality. This symbiosis also leads the AUJIK members to a higher awareness of the self.
