AI isn’t “the future”. It’s more like a mirror of the present—trained on everything we’ve posted, saved, fantasized about, or tried to delete. It doesn’t create culture from scratch; it spits back what we’ve fed it. And that says more about us than about the machine.

For me, AI is just another tool that’s already part of my process—like a cheap scanner, a broken printer, or any device that introduces noise. I’m not trying to make AI look “real,” and I’m not interested in fooling anyone. I actually want the mix: real material + generated material + visible ‘stitches’. I lean into the mistakes, the repeats, and the weird glitches, because that’s where something interesting shows up—how memory slips, how images distort over time, how archives don’t stay stable.
