- Overview
- With this installation, the Estampa collective continues its exploration of the new algorithmic relationships between words and images established by analytical and generative AI models. In Ekphrasis, excerpts from various films are subjected to an extremely complex and layered algorithmic description process: objects, faces, and emotions are detected and classified by artificial vision and facial analysis systems, while image-to-text models are used to generate detailed descriptions and analyses. The work draws our attention to the poetic potential inherent in the radical impossibility of translating images into words, and vice versa.
