Ögonkontakt / Eye Contact consists of archival material from a family album that has been AI-generated into moving images. The archival material consists of glass negatives scanned in the early 2000s and has therefore been a low-resolution source material.

The artist has worked with the information gap in the work to see what the result becomes through an AI-generated enhancement. The focus of the eyes in the work takes leaps in perhaps the most profound communication we humans are accustomed to: eye contact.

What happens when still images are presented as moving material? The recurring gazes become a meeting with an archive, artificial memories with relatives, but also an examination of how real the generated eyes are perceived. A recurring death algorithm or a mirror to the soul.
