Hyperselfie

Hyperselfie explores the interplay between writing and photographic representation. While photography captures fleeting moments of no return, the process of image generation from prompt input is in repetitive loops, emptying the meaning of symbols and no longer from analogous real life. The series of algorithmic selfies shows a challenge between self-representation and the eyes of others. Self-descriptive words are pixelated into image-writing. This invites audiences to reflect on how the evolution of images has changed the social meaning of writing. Have AI-generated images become a manifestation of hyperreality?
《自述像》探討文字與攝影影像對於真實的指涉。攝影捕捉不復返的一剎那,而生成影像不再從類比的現實生活中擷取,而是以重覆迴路抽空符號的意義。從文字或數位的圖像演算生成影像。一系列自我影像展現了對代表自我和他人眼中的挑戰。透過生成技術以文字對自我的描述演算出像素化文字,這邀請觀眾思考影像的進程如何改變文字的社會性。從文字生成的影像是否成為了一種超真實的影像?
