SYNTHETIC VISION / CONSTRUCTED  MEMORY
An art book by Erwin Van den Brande

Spanning more than fifteen years of image-making, the book brings together analog photography, digital transformations and AI-generated imagery to explore how perception and memory evolve in the age of technology.

Echoing the documentary clarity of August Sander, the conceptual play of John Baldessari and the meditative abstraction of contemporary image culture, Erwin's photographs question what it means to “see” in an era when algorithms share our gaze.
The result is both an art book and a cultural document: a time capsule of how we look, remember and dream in the early twenty-first century.
Each image invites reflection on the boundaries between photography and computation, truth and reconstruction, emotion and data.
Published in collaboration with Uitgeverij Komma and Tina De Souter Book Design, this edition is both a work of art and a cultural document of a shifting visual epoch.

"The history of art is also the history of seeing. Every new technology has transformed our vision of the world — from the perspective of the Renaissance to photography and today’s digital image culture. Synthetic Vision / Constructed Memory follows in that tradition.
Erwin Van den Brande’s project explores how analog photography, digital collage and artificial intelligence together create a new aesthetic.
In this synthetic way of seeing, human and machine become co-creators of the image."
