The Divergent Body

Using AI to generate images through computational models of multiple states, the primary focus is on self-portraiture as a sensory medium to create symbolic forms contrasting the virtual and the real. This process guides the viewer into a continuous loop of “image – memory – dream – reality.” By employing generative technology to train and interpret metadata, the program combines algorithmic computation with database learning to produce fluid, liquid-like images, revealing the diverse appearances of multiple bodies. In these images, the multiple bodies move between the interplay of reality and illusion. Virtuality is used to create a deterritorialized state of bodiless forms, leading viewers to experience an imaginative landscape of mental reality. This prompts reflection on how AI-generated images transcend the habitual cognition of physical bodies, exploring the unknown potential of human-machine co-creation in artistic creation
