Picky Eden: Genesis I explores the recursive image-making pipeline in commercial visuals, using apple as the data token. I use a custom AI workflow, in which the model is trained on commodity apple images collected from grocery and markets' websites (Whole Foods, Instacart, etc), and generate a morphing AI apple sequence that no longer signifies any single specific apple but a generality of "appleness". I 3D print a couple apples and spray-painted a series of real apples in a gradual progression, all in the same grey as the 3D printed ones.
