A MEMORY IS A DELAY IS A MEMORY isn’t solely focused on AI. Rather, it delves into experiencing AI within an artistic context. Over the past six years, Jerry Galle has gathered reflections and inquiries regarding working with this captivating technology, many of which are incorporated into the book. For Galle, AI is also a speculative tool, leading the text to gradually transition into fiction, shifting perspective to that of the AI itself. Galle opts to represent ‘AI’ with a symbol, offering readers the freedom to interpret the concept. This symbolization aims to grant AI a fictional identity, akin to a kin, while also alleviating the repetitive appearance of the abbreviation ‘AI’ throughout the book.

All the visuals in the book are AI-generated, primarily using the Stable Diffusion algorithm. Galle trained his own variations of this algorithm, with some images derived from his personal practice and others specifically trained, for this publication, on archive material of the center for contemporary art KIOSK. Where else could be more fitting than an art gallery for allowing AI to freely explore and interact within a space?

Jerry Galle explores idiosyncratic uses of image and language that are co-created with algorithms. The mediation of the world through ever profiling, falsifying and quantifying images and texts that are both bot and human generated, have had a dramatic impact on conceptions of art, humour, absurdity, politics, economics and language itself. His practice critically reflects this mediation using websites, drawings, electronics and manipulated texts, presented both offline and in the public space of the Internet. His work has been shown in Muhka, Bozar, Museum Dhondt-Dhaenens, British Film Institute, Wiels, International Film Festival Rotterdam, EMAF, International Film Festival Hamburg, Museum Dr. Guislain, Frankfurter Kunstverein and Ars Electronica among others.
