Could We Really Be Free Without a Place to Live? Generative Photographic Archival Exhibition

The chapter 'Could We Really Be Free Without a Place to Live? Generative Photographic Archival Exhibition' delves into the artist's exploration of Portugal's housing crisis through a series of photographs taken during aimless walks. Initially driven by aesthetic delight, the artist's journey evolves into a profound examination of social reality, particularly the housing problem in Portugal. The artist employs generative art and artificial intelligence to create a dynamic, ever-changing exhibit that reflects on the historical and contemporary significance of housing. The work not only highlights the aesthetic beauty of doors and abandoned houses but also serves as a powerful commentary on the social and political implications of housing insecurity. The chapter also discusses the challenges and creative possibilities of using generative art and AI in artistic practice, offering insights into the artist's process and the potential of these technologies to address complex social issues.
