Description of the work:

A person lying on a bed with a laptop, sound, 2020

This sound installation is based on a COCO**-based image-to-text process. Here I have created a data set filled with my own photographic works. Born as photographic works, digital AI-supported transformation processes first created data sets and then short ones, image descriptive sentences. Quasi a process like with the «Chinese Whispers», because the result changed with every step taken.

The last transformation was carried out with the help of a text-to-speech software, also AI-supported, so that the basic photographic material has now been transformed into an audible form. The results create a new image, that only exists through the imagination of the listener; a secret image of the original photographic work.
