Pixelated Perception by
Emi Kusano
AI Photograph Runner Up
"Pixelated Perception" explores the complex confluence of the digital and the tangible, highlighting the diverse transitions in Japan. In the 1990s, pixels, the minute elements of the digital realm, emerged prominently in platforms like mobile phone communications and instances of censorship, subtly altering our perception of reality. Using AI generation, Kusano crafts portraits of individuals who, though they don't exist in fact, resonate profoundly in our memories and senses, employing the pixelated effect as a symbolic presence.Pixels signify the fragmented pieces of our identity and understanding in this digital era. This work's aesthetic, reminiscent of video games, questions the overly pop-consumed roles of men and women, suggesting that these roles are, after all, fictional constructs.This glitch prompts us to reflect on the interplay between reality and the virtual, encouraging a reevaluation of our perspectives and the freedom to envision differently.

I found myself suddenly in the middle of the river of life
AI Animation Runner Up
By Ceren Su Celik.
The artwork progresses as an AI reads a poem generated by another AI, trained with the voice of a poet Nazım Hikmet.
“I found myself suddenly in the middle of the river of life,
All mirrors have turned towards me, echoing a voice within,
My body lies beneath the pure sun's rays,
A lifetime passes amid the heated plates,
My heart is the hero of the task, the square of the laborer…”
In the video, cyborg and robot-like characters exist within an imaginary world with a chaotic, ever-shifting metallic terrain. They constantly see themselves in a mirror rotating around them. This highly colorful and challenging environment is created to reflect a distorted version of today's world. The artwork aims to contemplate the positioning of the "artist figure" within such a world. It questions the concept of being an artist-worker in the ever-expanding data cloud created by social media and the internet, forming a new workforce.
