This tower façade was generated by the transformation of the scan of a downtown Los Angeles building by means of several kinds of artificial intelligence. Their lack of consideration for architectural conventions creates a complex field, which may be read like an elevation or a landscape, very deep or very shallow. The result is a composite, disturbing image, at once strange and familiar, which refers as much to the history of architecture as to its own history.
This work was created to be part of the collective installation "The Architectural Beast" (2019) curated by Hernan Diaz Alonso.
