A transparent flutter of memories captured in analog. Coexisting in parallel ways.

Generative Adversarial Networks were used to imitate the memory-forming process and then to learn forgetting and blurring of the recollections. By taking pictures of the surrounding world and feeding them into neural networks, the artist explores how the meaning and individuality of the images are lost. The piece transforms personal memories of more than 2000 photographs into a generalized vision in 15 tiles that the viewer could relate to in unexpected ways.
