Rememory AI

Porcelain, 2022

Porcelain segments in frot of vessels

Rememory AI consists of a collection of porcelain vessels and fragments, exploring the realm of artificial intelligence (AI) and the intricacies of data processing. AI systems rely on large quantities of data that must undergo collection, cleaning, and preprocessing to be effectively utilized. Each stage requires a methodical workflow and a basic understanding of the domain to achieve the desired outcome and remains vulnerable to even minor alterations.

The materiality of porcelain reflects this vulnerability: it possesses a memory, recording every manipulation during the process and reflecting it in the outcome.

The creation of the sculpted vessel involved numerous iterations before reaching its ultimate form. Some attempts proved overly complex, while others failed to endure the entire process. Constructing a functional multipart structure demands thoughtful planning and precise execution, akin to the complexities of coding an AI system from scratch.

The firing process may additionally influence individual segments in unpredictable ways, altering their shape in a manner that renders restoring them to their original form impossible. It functions as a black box, only unveiling the final form. While one can anticipate this change, it serves as a reminder of the fragile nature of the material and the care required when interacting with it.
