“MY WORD” de Carme Puche Moré

The imaginary generated by audiovisuals has a great power not only to represent the world we live in, but also to configure how we relate to each other. The imaginary is so powerful that it modifies behaviour. Sometimes the simple fact of being represented or not can make us feel validated (or rather not) for a profession, for example. It's that "If she can see it, she can be it". But we are not only talking about the fact that a girl feels validated to be an astronaut, but about infinite looks that determine and mark our way of being, our beliefs and consequently our actions in this world.

MY WORD is an audiovisual creation project based on text-to-image latent diffusion model (LDM) technology that uses the bias implicit in technology to form part of the debate on the unconscious biases generated by the patriarchal and colonial system. It starts from a creative investigation of the current tools developed to relate the creation of imaginary with the new Artificial Intelligence bets.

The screening will be followed by a talk with the presence of Àtia Cortés.
