This Flipbook explores the theme of identity, beginning with a fundamental question: "Who are we, truly? How do we represent ourselves?"

These reflections sparked a research project into the self-representation of Artificial Intelligence. It all began with a 2022 project by Michael Hess, who collected 100 AI-generated images in response to the prompt: "Show me your face." I attempted to produce new images using similar prompts, but the results were less significant—likely due to the rapid evolution of AI or its new internal limitations. For this reason, I chose to focus primarily on images created by other users, all linked by a clear intention: to visualize the "face" of AI. I selected 20 images, arranging them from the most mechanical to the most human, and created 20 morphing videos using Kaiber AI by Superstudio.

From these videos, I extracted 225 frames, which became the pages of this book, designed using InDesign. After selecting the color palette and typography, I added a prompt for each main image, documenting the AI model, the author, the specific prompt, and the date of creation.

A two-minute visual and conceptual experiment, created exclusively through screen recording, that investigates the nature of reality. Starting from the definition of "real" itself, the video evolves into a stimulating confrontation with AI-generated images (Copilot).

The strategic use of a pause before the finale transforms the output, blurring the line between a simple screen recording and a "recorded video," reflecting on the level of mediation we accept as reality. The constraint of using only screen recording is not a limitation, but a fundamental reflection on the mediated reality we inhabit daily.

According to a 2022 European Union survey, Ireland has the highest prevalence of loneliness in Europe, with 15% to 16% of the population reporting feeling lonely. While in the digital world QR codes facilitate instant and effortless connections between devices, human connections are far more complex.

This project addresses the themes of loneliness and isolation by using QR codes as a tool to incentivize collaboration. Initial research identified the concerning data regarding Ireland, which inspired the conceptual heart of this initiative. The goal is also to prompt reflection on the contrast between the ease of establishing technological links and the difficulty of building human relationships.

The Mechanism: Each QR code scanned by a participant reveals only a fragment of an image depicting the evocative landscapes of the Irish hills. To reconstruct the complete picture, participants are encouraged to work together and interact with others who are scanning QR codes in search of the missing pieces. This interactive experience does not merely invite reflection on isolation; above all, it aims to overcome it, inviting the public to gather physically and mentally to defeat loneliness through the fundamental act of collaboration and sharing..
