​​In the two-channel video work A war memorialin Europe, in the style of high-contrastblack-and-white, images of real and AI-generatedspaces for war remembrance alternate in a streamwhere AI’s dreams and hallucinations interminglewith human presence. This work explores theaesthetics and politics of monuments, exposingtheir inherent power dynamics. It plays with theidea of memorials as fragments of memory andhistory, in a space where physical grounds anddigital landscapes blur. In the video Why juxtapose AI-generated warmonuments with filmed ones?, diverse responses generated by various AI tools are presented. Each response invites the viewer to consider the implications of AI's interpretation and how technology reshapes our understanding ofmemorialization. In the two-channel sound work For My AI Clones,eight AI-cloned voices of the artist echo her thoughts, drawing us into her notes andhallucinations throughout the creative process.This soundscape immerses the listener in anexploration of identity and replication, thecomplexities of authorship and the influenceof AI on personal narratives. The distinction between AI and human experienceis blended in this contested realm of creative control.  Inter Arts Center, Malmö  Region Skåne / Inter Arts Center, Malmö   The Swedish Art Grants Committee / Film i Skåne / Längmanska Kulturfonden

”For ten years

I filmed war memorials

performed at graves, marble and memories

 

Saved the surfaces

in my bodily memory

the numbers and names, in my books

the people passing by, in my cameras

 

Then, in 10 seconds,

you created a similar scene

at my prompt

 

A space where

my body will never move around

feel the cold stone

learn how to walk the stairs

 

There is no smell

no sound

nothing to touch

 

Repeat!”

 

In this audiovisual installation, Freja Andersson examines our collective public representation of war, using AI as a tool in the process. This exploration also delves into the relationship with the tool itself, and how it’s used.

 

The installation consists of three intertwined artworks running simultaneously, each looping

at its own pace:
