a voyage through reconstructed memories, based on photographs. a 3d ken burns deep learning model converts these photographs into 3d pictures. by adjusting the code of the model, the digital fabric of this 3d synthesized reality is revealed. we find ourselves on a treshold between realities, photographic and synthetic. between memories, registered and artificial.
