A video exhibition that ran at the Daniels Faculty of Architecture, Landscape and Design for 5 weeks. The exhibition comprised of 23 student projects that use image generation AI to recreate an image of existing architectural works without using the name of the project or author.
This exhibition showcased the success and failures of AI, and student ability to critique its abilities, its strengths, blind spots, misunderstandings, hallucinations and other inadequacies. A collaborative partnership between the course Computation and Design and the Eberhard Zeidler Library. This exhibition culminated in a AI guide, research paper and conference presentation for the Association of Collegiate Schools of Architecture (ACSA).
My main contributions to this project were putting together the AI guide and exhibition, while adding to the research paper. This project was made possible by my concurrent employment as a Research Assistant for the Library, while also being a Teaching Assistant for the course, Computation and Design, allowing me to organize and liase between both.
A full loop of the video exhibition can be found here.
The work was also featured in the University of Toronto Magazine
