Memory Trace is a real-time interactive installation that combines the fragility of personal memory with AI technology, reconstructing and visualizing fading moments in a new form. The work begins with the cherished childhood memory of a persimmon tree at my grandfather’s house. As these scenes gradually blur over time, I capture them through drawing and reinterpret them using AI. By training on my drawings and archival childhood photos, the AI generates hundreds of possible images, blending the imperfections of memory with imagination and technological intervention to create entirely new visualizations.

Through a website, visitors can choose one of several memories and witness the real-time AI reconstruction process. The continuously generated images are presented as an animation reminiscent of Polaroid photos being printed endlessly and displayed on a wooden structure.
