What I seek through artificial imagination is a form that breathes — the opposite of the closed, mechanical, and saturated forms of today’s images.
An organic rhythm, where thought flows like an underground current through the city, connecting distant zones: a childhood memory, a street, a dream, an image of war.
To explore the latent space is to explore the way the world moves through us. It is not about telling a story, but about letting things emerge.
Each sequence then becomes a threshold: between the outside and the inside, between what once was and what is still being thought. Each image becomes a fragment of thought: a reminiscence, a flash, a hesitation.
It is no longer the narrative that governs the montage, but the way images recall one another — as memories do. This flow is discontinuous, porous, sometimes pierced by intrusions of the real — a sound, a light, a face — that reignite thought.
The latent space acts as an expanded memory — a topography of the collective imagination. It is a place without fixed coordinates, without edges, without hierarchy, where the images of the past, the present, and the possible overlap.
Artificial imagination thus becomes an instrument of drift — a kind of second consciousness that dreams from our traces.
