Artificial Intelligence Aesthetics / 2020
AI-generated text, music and images

This project explores the limit of fabricated memories about space generated by artificial intelligence. Using Runway, I trained two models:
- one training set contains 25,595 words about childhood homes described by people on
reddit, houzz, student homework forums.
- another training set contains 20,792 words from The Poetics of Space by Gaston Bachelard
"By approaching the house images with care not to break up the solidarity of memory and imagination, we may hope to make others feel all the psychological elasticity of an image that moves us at an unimaginable depth."
- Gaston Bachelard
"My childhood house is my armor. We are protected in our memories."
