#MERZmory: Digital Recollection of Human Visual Memories
An essay about my journey in the fields of tension between art, culture, artificial intelligence and personal experiences.

Proud to be presented with my Manifesto "Generative Age" in the first issue of AI Art Magazine 2024
We are building new cultural epoch. It's too early to give it a meaningful title. But it will be under the star of human-machine creative collaboration.

"It's not "analog" vs. "digital". It's continuum."
Poetry of Humans & AI
For AI Art Magazine I interviewed Sasha Stiles, whose works are shown at "OF SEEDS & SIGNALS" organized by Diane Drubay (Blueshift) on the Art on Tezos in Berlin. Thank to Anika Meier for overall curation!

Ghost in the Shell’s core question “What guarantees that I remain myself?” runs from Masamune Shirow’s 1989 manga through Mamoru Oshii’s films straight into our AI era. Major Kusanagi’s struggle between body, machine, and memory mirrors today’s blurred lines of identity, synthetic perception, and brain-machine interfaces.
Emi Kusano extends this lineage. Her series EGO in the Shell: Ghost Interrogation reframes the universe through Buddhist and posthuman lenses, using AI trained on her own photos to generate “memories of things that never existed.” Identity becomes a fluid archive, constantly rewritten.
Curator Yohsuke Takahashi sees in her work a distinctly Asian pluralism, echoing Flusser’s idea that truth and fiction form shifting horizons. Kusano’s upcoming Offline Gallery show in New York turns these ideas into an immersive field of CRTs, AI images, and holographic self-dialogue: a living ghost interrogation for the age of generative memory.
