34 possible due to artificial intelligence. Through AI we created an imagined transition from space to space in a way that doesn't echo reality. The wandering in the video became a kind of imaginary journey where the viewer is guided by observation and a sense of rediscovery while moving between spaces born from an abstract digital mechanism. Carmit: Please describe your dialogue with AI. How did the conversation with the machine "confuse" (in terms of expanding perception and understanding possibilities) you and you it? Shirley and Tal: The ability of artificial intelligence to create spaces and images that don't exist in reality made us curious and positioned us in a new creative space. Wandering within the AI-created spaces at times confused us, at times confused it but, at the same time, expanded the way we think about the essence of art-making, affecting our physical process of working in the studio. The dialogue with artificial intelligence was for us not just a tool but also a field of investigation where questions arose related to the power relations between the creators and the creating platform, between us and it. The conversation with the machine was based on feeding photographs we took in the building into the algorithm which, in turn, learned from the photographs and created new visual possibilities for us for the exact measurements of the niches we fed. By processing the architectural photos of the building, the algorithm came up with the result of its own understanding, created, so it seemed, from scratch. In these images, we found great inspiration; they became the foundation for our work while building the niches in the studio although they were certainly not their direct source. We studied how AI thinks and, based on this, drew inspiration in the studio, on how we constructed the images and on how we photographed them. In this video, this dialogue was particularly intensified. The video was constructed from two starting points, two frames, where artificial intelligence was asked to bridge and connect the movement between them: the initial frame and the final frame. This is how the film was created. This transition from frame to frame not only created new spaces but also explored our ability and AI's ability to perceive and define different viewpoints and imagined spaces. This process confused both us and the algorithm: we tried to formulate and direct the digital gaze of artificial intelligence while it kept creating images that, at times, seemed chaotic while, at other times, seemed groundbreaking. The spaces that artificial
