The project's visual strategy is based on the reconstruction and staging of iconic photographs of important artists and scientists. By replacing the original, predominantly male artists with members of FLINTA*, a fictional reality is created that enables an alternative historical narrative. These "fictional archives" are more than mere artistic commentary; they function as counter-archives that challenge existing narratives of art history and expand them to include diverse, often overlooked, perspectives.
The project raises important ethical questions: How far can AI go in reshaping history? How can we ensure that these technologies don't repeat the same systemic errors they seek to correct? By highlighting historical distortions and exclusions, the project not only demands a reevaluation of the past but also opens a visionary perspective for the future. The artist's constantly growing collection of images can be assessed through data analysis for their potential incorporation, both actively and passively, into future AI systems. Through its dissemination via digital platforms, this fictional history not only contributes to making cultural memory more diverse and equitable but can also influence future AI models to promote a more inclusive and equitable future.
