The “Journal of a Self Improvement” responds to the automatic reading of complex images and the possibilities of synthetically generating realistic images that bear no relation to physical reality. The development of AI-based image and video generation is certainly the subject of much commentary, but it rarely goes beyond the stage of techno-media chronicles. How can we explore our relationship with images, which is changing radically thanks to new technologies? By entering the image... What new spaces for play, doubt and questioning result from this?

Helmuth Plessner's philosophy, which conceives of life fundamentally in its spatial dimension, is a central theoretical tool for us in understanding coexistence with digital entities. The video “Journal of a Self Improvement” speculates, through a series of four experiments, on the new hybrid ecology where humans and digital avatars meet, both endowed with emotional analysis capabilities and a particular form of intelligence.
