Archive Dreams is a series of data paintings derived from a 2 TB dataset of Asian cultural heritage and architecture from Tsinghua University’s archives. Using a GAN, the project explores visual aspects of Asian artifacts and public spaces, creating dynamic works that blend history with the present. By destabilizing traditional archival concepts through machine learning, it redefines the viewing experience, transforming a flat screen into a three-dimensional, kinetic space where traditional and modern perceptions merge, pushing the boundaries of perception and imagination.
