Rematerializing Stone Mountain: Stitching a Generated Landscape looks at how generative AI can simplify or flatten the complex histories, material qualities, and lived experiences connected to a place. Focusing on Stone Mountain, Georgia—a geological formation, Confederate monument, public park, and contested site of memory—the project turns AI-generated images of the site into a large-scale textile installation. Fifty-two generated images were combined, printed onto Charmeuse silk, cut apart, stitched back together, and suspended in space. Through this process, the project brings labor, touch, time, material resistance, and bodily experience back into an image that was originally produced through a digital system.
