Flow
In this piece two images mutually exchange pixels through a generative script in python using computer vision, which randomly takes a pixel from each image and exchanges them respecting the information of their original position, it is an exchange or teleportation of these units of information between territories that are constructed and loaded with identity from the different flows of information. In the image you can see a landscape divided by a river that refers to the border between Mexico and the United States of America, but the image was captured synthetically through artificial intelligence.
