(EN): RAM_1.0 is a project that originates from the collaboration between Sara and Artificial Intelligence. It’s a fictional narrative of her life, based on her personal visual archive, yet constructed and mediated by AI. The project explores the concept of memories and the importance of the construction of an archive within the digital realm. Focused on the interaction between images and text, she let AI analyse her memories to then reinterpret its captions and create new staged images. New fabricated memories take form as 5 different books and 5 slideshows presented on a modular installation. Floating between human and non-human, the dialogue between Sara and the machine originates and lets you get immersed in a new dataset of her memories through the gaze of technology.
