An image machine generates an endless stream of visuals, drawn from an incomprehensible archive of past images. To observers, these images appear both predetermined and random, detached from real historical events yet shaped by their world. Once extracted and preserved by an artist, the images become fossils—static yet strangely alive. Over time, as more are produced, they form a tangible representation of the machine’s vast, elusive reality, allowing viewers to glimpse its unknowable creative process.
