Generated Alien is a 3 day project through which artists Jini and Lea attempt to deconstruct the alien existence called “woman” created through the male-dominated field of digital media and artificial intelligence. The first two parts will allow visitors to peek into the process of creating and organizing a performative project and also participate with feedback and commentary. On the first day the artists will conduct research which will consist of gathering data in the form of AI generated imagery.

Second day of the project will consist of printing the collected data and arranging it into a grid. Thus bringing the generated beings into a palpable form and creating a visual representation of a woman as seen through artificial intelligence which excludes queerness- in consequence queer women, trans women, and all marginalized beings are taking on the role of an alien. This day the audience will have opportunities to compare and contrast the generated reality to their own vision and give thoughts and feedback to the artists.

The final day of the “Generated Alien” project the artists will do a live painting session. The method of conducting this performance processing information mimics the way AI generates an image, but by adding personal experiences, personal biases, emotions, and other data and non-quantifiable elements to the work, the artists question how we can create and gaze upon an image of a woman.
