Reconstructed Reality, video

A code-based work that treats the image as data. It starts from AI-generated landscapes. A machine vision system splits each image into 180 chromatic layers, then extracts, moves and recombines pixels across images in a recursive loop.

What results are landscapes rebuilt out of the machine's own memory: familiar in light and atmosphere, but assembled from fragments of other pictures.
