Front Page (2022)

AI-based image synthesizers generate images as an output to text-based prompts. The discussion regarding the (mis)use of this technology is vast. Will it put artists and designers out of their jobs? Does it breach intellectual property rights or infringe copyright laws? And what about deepfakes and misinformation? Front Page elaborates on these questions by directly connecting an image synthesizer with a live news stream. The piece uses the latest news titles as text-based prompts, instantly utilized in real-time to generate related images. Taking inspiration from Hans Haacke's 1969 News installation, Front Page materializes the infinite news stream with an endless stream of images. The news itself becomes anecdotal as viewers spend time comparing the image with its corresponding text. Front Page questions the importance of news in our lives and examines its actual grasp of our reality in a world where generated content is everywhere and increasingly becoming indistinguishable from human-made content. With that, the piece provides a glimpse into how AI interprets and responds to the world while rendering the news too digital and inherently inhuman.
​

The piece connects between Craiyon - an AI image synthesizer and newsapi.org - a news stream.
