Could We Really Be Free Without a Place to Live? Generative Photographic Archival Exhibition
摘要
This article explores the creation and development process of the work One Place to Live. A piece of media art incorporating research on architectural heritage, resulting from long walks drifting through the cities of Braga, Porto, and Lisbon, for 22 months, between 2022 and 2023, capturing images of house doors. The work is composed of sounds, photographs, and videos and, in addition to the real photos, has images generated by artificial intelligence. One Place to Live is finished with generative art, where the machine, through code programmed by the artist, is in charge of deciding the final visual composition of the work. Given the commemoration of the 50th anniversary of the Portuguese April 25 Revolution, the artist also travels the paths of history and finds, in the original recordings of the night of April 24 to 25, the historical importance of the house for the safety of the Portuguese people.
