Artwork details:
Title: Memorias de una montaña
Description:
“What we call time is more than anything else a repetition of events that from our perspective form cycles that, when repeated, make us think of durations. It is absolutely true that time varies according to the observer, and that therefore the experience of time is an adjustment, association or modification of our neural patterns” Jacobo Grinberg
The memory lodged in the mind is a seriality of images that are sustained, do not contain a concrete form, vary from one to another, are deformed, distorted. We constantly create the past as if it were part of the present, but over time everything is deconstructed, blurred. Memory is a film in real time and variable, when we are thrown there, we can spend hours and hours contemplating, it is a loop of impermanence. When I experiment with artificial intelligence images, I seem to find a relationship with how our mind manifests memories, the passing thoughts transform from one form to another, as in the interpolations of the neural networks we train. Although AI is far from the neural complexity of our brain, this familiarity between the generated images and our mental images is strange. For this project, photos of the Montaña del Oso, located on the outskirts of Bogotá at an altitude of 3200 metres and seen from inside the city, were taken almost every day for about 6 months.
