John Melo – Memórias da montanha – Argentina/Colombia

In the background, the Bear Mountain in Bogotá, photographed from a distance for 6 months. Neural networks from free access notebooks (VqGan and StyleGan) were used. The sounds were recorded directly from the mountain top. Memórias da montanha is interested in the time-matter tension between the visualization of memory reminders and the formation of images generated by artificial intelligence.
