Nostophiliac AI

We interact daily with algorithms that emulate human perception and collective memory. By trying to communicate with us, the algorithms sound, look and behave more and more like us by reflecting our perception and memory back to us.
What if those AI tools become instruments of manipulation by tackling the spectator’s sense of familiarity using shared cultural signs, tropes, or archetypes?
We investigate and explore the relationship between collective and individual memory reflected and manipulated through AI: the concept of the “found object” and its algorithmic transformation of meaning.
