A sequence that begins with the same or similar images as another can take a completely different direction in terms of meaning, solely due to gradually different structure. It becomes difficult to differentiate whether the decisive image contains meaning or simply shows visual patterns.
In a fast-paced selection process, driven by a constant stream of visualizations, novel patterns of meaning no longer arise solely through logical or formal criteria, but rather through a process of negotiation. The user links their reflective process directly with the visualization and concurrently adapts to ongoing suggestions for modification. These modifications facilitate bisociation, similar to Kekule’s famous bisociation process in the invention of the benzene ring. Reflection processes and visualizations intersect, resulting in a unique imaginative quality.
At CHROMALAND STUDIO, artists are using AI-generated images to delve into the interplay between conscious and subconscious perception in flow sequences. They are creating visual series through “deep learning” AI processes and observing the patterns of human cognition that emerge. The AI-based image production is done in parallel with the observation and documentation of these patterns.
