“From the Ashes” is an interactive AI driven installation that explores the concept of generating audience interaction through an open, speculative knowledge generation process, targeting missing information regarding a collection of artworks.

The pieces in question are from the Modern Artworks from Germany, that were destroyed following the “Entartete Kunst” (Degenerate Art) exhibition series. In my work, I am using prompt-to-image AI generating models to create speculative recreations of these lost artworks, based on the information they left behind – such as artist, title, medium and style.

To achieve this, I have created a digital database from the remaining information about these pieces and wrote a code that generates a prompt that can be understood by an AI program.”
