“The More We Remember, the More We Forget” @ Surreality HKUST Guangzhou

Activity: Talk/lecture or presentationTalk/lecture

Description

Our own constructions of reality are not really realities. They are embedded in our own biases and desires for wanting to see things in particular ways, and they reflect an attempt to fill in gaps of knowledge, often with no evidence and little knowledge. I will use artistic perspectives to explore the way we imagine these realities using technologies like Generative AI (GenAI) as agents for prototyping our alternative futures and realities. I will show works exhibited in Shanghai, Goethe Institute Hong Kong, National Asian Cultural Center Gwangju, Taikwun, etc., validated by published work in CHI, CSCW, and DIS demonstrating the way that GenAI and related tools can enable us to describe imagined worlds of the past and future. I will also describe ways to express how we overcome limitations of these tools artistically, using technology-mediated installations to reveal to visitors the layers of how we remember the past, and how we want the future to remember us.
