Elan Vital is a new body of work composed of inbreeding the previous machine learning models Subjective Consistency and A Picture Can'tTake Me.

The Subjective Consistency model was trained using the complete documentation of Cibelle's art practice across all media from 2008 until January 2021, when the model training began. The “Picture Can'tTake Me” model has been trained using a 20-year dataset of public google images of the artist when previously known as a cis woman singer, Instagram and personal archive photos documenting the artist as they transition as a non-binary person and ageing.

In the inbreeding of the datasets composed of external artistic expression vs self-expression and biological emergence in the body and the machine learning collaboration where the artist chooses images from the output and asks the model to (latent) walk from one to another, Cibelle seeks vestiges that point to an Elan Vital.
