PROLIFICS IN RESISTANCE
In an experiment with AI generated images for the Augmented Society Network (ASN) I returned to my concern with resistance that I recently explored in the Alchemy of Resistance project. I looked for resistance in the mundane - why do I feel so much resistance? I researched the physicality of resistance in magnets, broke it down to the quantum level where resistance dissipates, and found the potential for change. This revisit is called Prolifics in Resistance where I generated a quantity of AI images with the prompt “resistance to making a picture frame” and "resistance to let customer service win" among others. The subtle variance images were then sequenced to create morphing still lifes. While confronting these resistances I experienced the embodiment of the conclusion as before.
