Degradation (2025)
Digital collage (Photoshop, Medibang Paint, Midjourney)
Initially fed photography of myself into MidJourney, ChatGPT, and Photoshop's AI and instructed them to recreate 'me': the initial generations were overly conventional, but I eventually tailored the edits to procure a version that somewhat resembled myself. I then continuously fed the base image unto itself until the face degraded.
Using the various self-degraded and complete faces, I crafted a digital collage reflecting on my digital being's self (not only the AI version, but the me formulated from my entire digital activity) in relation to my physical-- questioning its consciousness as a separate, yet inextricable existence from mine, a mishmash of data and memories and artificial thoughts.
