Daily Narratives

This artwork is inspired by the exhibition theme "dialogue." It captures everyday scenes with a smartphone, reimagines them as videos using Stable Diffusion (AI), and animates them generatively with TouchDesigner (node-based software for visual coding). During the exhibition period in Tokyo, the videos will be updated daily.
The concept of this artwork emerged from conversations with ChatGPT. My starting point as an artist is painting, and I researched with ChatGPT how historical masters incorporated dialogue into their works. This led me to deeply resonate with the approach of Vilhelm Hammershøi, a painter born in 1864, who repeatedly depicted the Copenhagen apartment where he lived from 1898 to 1909. For me, home is also a place where I spend most of my day and engage in many dialogues while facing my work.
The AI-regenerated videos transform, reflecting my daily life while evolving into "someone's" daily life. This work records the unpredictability of daily life, where changes occur independently of personal intention. Daily life is the closest generative experience for me, with subtle daily changes resembling irregular patterns generated by random seeds.
