oculus est lucerna corporis

As AI images seep into the crevices of everyday life their power extends beyond questions of trust and verisimilitude to surface harder questions about our relationship to visual objects. Building on my experience of double retinal detachment, this work explores tensions around how AI-generated images are made and known; who gets to define cognitive, embodied, and consensual realities; and the machines and tools that have a far longer history with the visual assembly.
