This flipbook collage recreates part of the Eameses’ iconic 1977 film, The Powers of Ten, using two different techniques by two different artists.
On SIDE A, Kelli Anderson manually remixed found-images from Google Image search results. Separately, these images feel like an utterly random sampling of the Internet. But together, they blend as frames—reconstructing a false continuity recognizable at the Powers of Ten. Inspired by Christian Marclay's The Clock.
On SIDE B, Adam Pickard used the inpainting feature of DALL·E to see if it could remake The Powers of Ten. He typed a text prompt, then shrank the image it output (leaving the surrounding area transparent.) That image would then be uploaded to DALL-E which filled the transparent area with the next prompt. This step was repeated 57 times.
