Microwave background radiation is a form of electromagnetic radiation that encompasses our entire universe. This technical image, produced in 1965, was the first representation that humanity obtained on a cosmic scale of the state of the universe. In the map with an ellipsoidal shape we can see represented the state of the entire matter existing in the initial moments of the formation of the cosmos. Thanks to the passage of time, it would end up conforming to the galaxies, nebulae, systems stars and planets that today inhabit our universe. That is, somehow, the mass matter report would take concrete, tangible forms; specific representations.

On the other hand, the methodology of generating images by text to image VQGAN+CLIP is the communication between two models of neural networks, a model of multimodal embedding (VQGAN) and a visual learning guidance model that mimics the human language (CLIP). By entering a text prompt that, depending on the parameters given will determine the result of the final image, we obtain intermediate images resulting from the shaping process.These images are also called iterations, and start from iteration 0 to an iteration n, number also determined by the preset parameters when running the model. Our interest in both processes, apparently far from themselves, is the visual analogy that we can establish between the process of shaping an artificial algorithmic image and the microwave background radiation of the universe. When we start the process the iteration 0 is a soup of representational latency, a purple magma that has not acquired no way. It is in the continuous repetition of the process, in its interactions where the algorithmic pareidolia manifests itself. CLIP, the neural network that interprets images by imitating the capacity of human language “asks” the image about its representational level. Like the representation of map of the microwave background radiation part of the interaction (it 0) of all energy (measured in microwaves) that existed in the universe and how, these energy gradients with the passage of millions of years would make up the galaxies, stars and planets that plague the cosmos, the zero interaction (it 0) of an imaging system is a space latent, an imaginal mass willing, through the pareidolic phenomenon, to create forms, define shapes and patterns before the eye.
