A MEMORY IS A DELAY IS A MEMORY isn't solely focused on AI. Rather, it delves into experiencing AI within an artistic context. Over the past six years, Jerry Galle has gathered reflections and inquiries regarding working with this captivating technology, many of which are incorporated into the book. For Galle, AI is also a speculative tool, leading the text to gradually transition into fiction, shifting perspective to that of the AI itself. Galle opts to represent 'AI' with a symbol, offering readers the freedom to interpret the concept. This symbolization aims to grant AI a fictional identity, akin to a kin, while also alleviating the repetitive appearance of the abbreviation 'AI' throughout the book.All the visuals in the book are AI-generated, primarily using the Stable Diffusion algorithm. Galle trained his own variations of this algorithm, with some images derived from his personal practice and others specifically trained, for this publication, on archive material of the center for contemporary art KIOSK. Where else could be more fitting than an art gallery for allowing AI to freely explore and interact within a space?

The images capture moments that arise when lost in thought, evoking a connection to memories. This sensation dwells in my chest, ascending like an elevator into my brain-the essence of my narrative. Drawing from personal experiences, I used them as the foundation. Delving into scattered memories and anxieties, I forged a nonlinear storyline centered on myself. As both narrator and subject, I embarked on a complex journey. This exploration pushed my inner and outer boundaries, confronting vulnerabilities from family ties, especially my younger sister. I faced my humanity, photographer identity and existence in the post-Soviet Muslim context.
