Description

2077: The Generated Past is a digital artwork presented as an interactive jigsaw puzzle game. Set in the year 2077, the work invites you to take on the role of a future archaeologist. Faced with a collection of fragmented image archives from a previous century, you must reconstruct lost historical photographs on a digital restoration workbench. However, these images may not be records of events that truly existed. They may come from historical archives, or they may have been reconstructed and completed by generative AI. As the puzzle gradually takes shape, you are not merely restoring a photograph—you are also participating in the creation of historical memory. This work responds to the instability of “truth” in the age of generative AI. When images are no longer only evidence of reality, but can also manufacture memories, repair history, and give believable visual form to events that never happened, how can we determine the authenticity of a photograph? If a past that never occurred is viewed, assembled, preserved, and circulated in the digital world, is it still merely fiction? Or has it already become a new kind of reality?
