Akiyoshi Miyake

Pipe dream

I am not comfortable expressing myself through photography. In Szarkowski's style, I wish to be a “window” photographer. When taking street snapshots, I try to eliminate subjectivity as much as possible and capture the intermingling of people in the city. However, it is inevitable that personal preferences will play a role. Therefore, I thought that AI could help us minimize subjectivity.  AI learns from a vast amount of images and text, derives prompts from the photos I have taken, and generates new images. The training data is collected from the Internet, and is a hodgepodge of not only famous paintings and photographs, but also those uploaded by Internet users on a daily basis in the hope that they will be “liked."  These may not be recognized as "photographs," but they may be an extension of the history of photography's expansion of its meaning.
