Clerkmanifesto Land

 






Some of my first experiments with AI photography had to do with imagined cities. And though those pictures are likely from only two or three years ago I would probably find them as crude and limited as, well, as maybe I will find today's pictures in a few years as well.

But either way, every season or two I seem to find myself working with the technology to fashion some version of my dream cities. There is more to discuss here about all this, but I am in such a fever of work that I'm mostly just stopping by here at this particular moment in time to show some of the photographs I've been making and working on along the way. I am also working on video from these pictures, but this is just a taste of some of my current direction. 

In some ways, as I said, these are idealized cities, but it's not like my version of  ideal cities don't already exist in places, particularly Europe. So I have been coming to see these pictures more as a kind of Clerkmanifesto Land. The city of clerkmanifesto.


Here are some pictures of where this is all written:

If you were wondering, yes, you should comment. Not only does it remind me that I must write in intelligible English because someone is actually reading what I write, but it is also a pleasure for me since I am interested in anything you have to say.

I respond to pretty much every comment. It's like a free personalized blog post!

One last detail: If you are commenting on a post more than two weeks old I have to go in and approve it. It's sort of a spam protection device. Also, rarely, a comment will go to spam on its own. Give either of those a day or two and your comment will show up on the blog.
