Yes! #MERZmory is alive again! 2021 is 2026 is 20xx!
My next approach is recostruction of Latent Browser via ComfyUI.
Vibe coding rules. Was looking for StyleGAN2 implementations in ComfyUI, since my #MERZmory series are based on GAN-Model, trained on my photos 2021. Why not ask Claude? And here it is - the full access to my Latent Spaces is possible again! Be prepared for more.
Funny nonsensical regurgitations of stereotypes about "wealthy technocrat overlords" as I shared how I trained from scratch an opensource AI on my photos in order to create new visions of my memories (#MERZmory series). Fun fact: they won't let me answer. :D What a "dialogue"🤦
Using upscalers, my #MERZmory series becomes new direction. Figuralization of the abstract. Poetry of concrete dreams.
#MerzmenschReview2025: Continuing my work with the Art & Art Theory faculty at @unicologne.bsky.social, I led workshops on artists using generative AI, focusing on “Affirmative Surrender of Control” and my practice in #reMERZ and #MERZmory.

For me, the most exciting AI artworks are generated by models trained on your own photography and art. It's very personal, reflects your experience and perception, and also doesn't cause any copyright issues because you are in your training dataset. #aiart #kikunst #MERZmory

AI art is human art - it upvalues human creativity. Our discussion in @DeutschesMuseum #FestivalDerZukunft @1e9tech about AI as tools, co-authors and creators was very vivid. Here you see my #reMERZ / #MERZmory series. And: there was a premiere. Stay tuned! #aiart #kikunst
Proud to be part of the 2024 AI Art Exhibition at @CVPR conference "IEEE/CVF Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition" with my #reMERZ and #MERZmory video installation "Visual Criticism".

I remember wandering on the streets of Moscow as a child, my last time before leaving Russia forever. It was a mixed feeling of hope, fear, and uncertainty, but also a thrill toward a new life.
#MERZmory: diffused.
My project keeps going.
1) GAN trained on my photos
2) is used as IMG Prompt for a Diffusion Model
3) expanded by memories from my life as text prompt.
Today: "My Last Day in Moscow, 1995"
