Description
The class will examine the abilities of artificial intelligence (AI) to visualize personal and historical memory. Students are asked to find a diary fragment from their own diary or from a text donated by an individual or one found in an archive, historical diary, or public domain resource. After a brief overview of generative AI and its applications in creating visual art, students will create several visual representations of this past event using AI and note any challenges, insights, or surprises encountered during the experiment. Students will also be asked to reflect on the nature of memory and ethical witness, visual storytelling, and the impact of technology on artistic expression.
