Exposure Garden is a solo exhibition by Gigi Lage at Tempus Volta. Lage uses generative AI as a tool to construct still frames from the artist’s own text input. Lage examines how AI processes its learning patterns from existing data and how its output defines the image, its deranged textures, and the story found within the frame. This work explores themes surrounding the implication of replication, the complexities of a single image, and a machine's relationship to our natural world.
Exposure Garden uncovers the disturbances between AI-generated realities and our human experiences through the exploration of human life in natural elements as processed by machines. Lage explores the simulation of human connection as re-imagined video stills & film negatives. These extractions of images romanticize a version of our world in a dream-like state; through another type of mind that may or may not be our own.
Gigi Lage is a multimedia and interdisciplinary artist working with video, film, photography, sound, installation, and sculpture. She is interested in the experimentation of multidimensional interferences by using video, images, and sculpture to explore the distortion between optics, reflections, mirrors, and magnification.
Tempus Volta is located at 1624 E. 7th Ave. in Ybor City.
