Intermediate Zones
Archival Images of AI explores how existing images – especially those from digital heritage collections – can be remixed and reused to create new images, particularly to represent AI in more compelling ways.

Images of AI are often problematic: Common visual tropes of glowing brains, humanoid robots and walls of code create a distorted view of AI, giving it a mystical, almost god-like quality. So, we’ve been wondering – how can we make it easier to create better images of AI?

This project was a collaboration between AIxDESIGN and the Netherlands Institute for Sound & Vision with advisory from Better Images of AI ✨ Special thanks to SOOT for helping us launch our scraps.
