A Memory is an earlier version of Still There.
A Memory is an exploration of AI-translated poetry. Each image frame is generated based on the previous image using prompts provided by me to OpenAI Dall E. Each prompt corresponds to a line of poetry, capturing a nostalgic depiction of my hometown. The AI model translates my nostalgia into a stanza of vivid imagery. Now, to whom does this memory belong? Is it the artist's, the viewers', the developers of the Dall E model, or the anonymous owners of the extensive dataset used to train the model? I seek to repurpose the AI image generator's functionality, from averaged results of the vast expanse of the internet dataset to a long stanza of concrete poetry. Can you discern the nostalgia woven between the pixels? Or do you perceive the absurdity of the technology?
