Ghost Train (Katie Morris)
Video, 2023
About the artwork
A generative video AI created using manual datamoshing. Bizarre and illogical artificial imagery is contrasted by an audio recording taken in the real world. This amalgamation of sound and video infuses a contradiction between the real and the artificial. The audio featured in this particular work was taken on the world's oldest ghost train. Opened in 1930, the ride still operates to this day and is now supposedly haunted. AI generated and datamoshing.
