The stages of the exhibition Exphygit Corpse :
Phase One: The Offering. Donation of Discarded Images: Through collaboration, we compile discarded AI-generated images from the participants.
Phase Two: Mycelium. These discarded images become the raw tissue for artistic exploration, where participants recycle and remix the fragments to craft a renewed aesthetic narrative, breathing new life into what was once deemed expendable.
Phase Three: Terra preta. A Space for Text Speculation. Possible contributions include, but are not limited to, the following: Micro-essays, critic reflection, Glitch haiku, Speculative fiction fragments, AI-related fears, dreams, confessions, Collaborative chain texts (exquisite corpse style) related to the Compost^ statement.
