Irreplaceable Biography

Is a film that explores current advances in language models, generated in one-shot from Walt Whitman’s A Song of Myself (1892 version). The result is a 4-minute-20-second sequence in which imagery develops from the narration (2022). In this work, a diffusion model is paired with a TTS speaking system, and both are understood with experimental and narrative potential. As generative modelling progresses new simulations are useful, this film promotes a practice where its experience represents human internal monologue. Exhibition at Galerie Eigenheim (Weimar, 2023).
