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?

Collages For Magazines" is the debut book by acclaimed artist and creative director, Mat Maitland. Throughout his career, Maitland has consistently created captivating imagery for a multitude of magazines. This body of work serves as a testament to his creative journey, tightly curated from 15 years of contributions across diverse publications and collaborations. Maitland led the resurgence of collage art in the early 2000s, pioneering a distinctive and singular vision in the realm of image making. "The artistic heir to Warholian tradition, recalibrated in the digital age, Mat's work blurs the boundary between high and low culture. His collages are pop, playful, cerebral and surreal. They're steeped in nostalgia as much as they reference future worlds, as witty commentaries on contemporary culture." (Dazed Beauty)"Maitland's digital renderings make the eyes skip and the mind race with their unusual juxtapositions, as he pits the futuristic against the nostalgic and the phantasmagorical against the familiar. Unusually, a quiet cerebral quality sits comfortably alongside palpable accents of pulp melodrama." (Sotheby's)Mat is also widely recognised for his role as a creative director in the music industry, creating designs, imagery, and films for a plethora of iconic artists including Michael Jackson, Prince, Lana Del Rey, Beck, Elton John, and numerous others.

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.
