Merzmensch interview: Exploring human-machine memory via local AI

Merzmensch · x · 2026-09-01

Artist Merzmensch discusses #MERZpoet, an independent writing entity trained exclusively on his own archives (photos, writings, audiovisuals) and run locally. The project explores how personal memory shifts when filtered through statistical models and what remains uniquely human in the age of generative AI. He treats AI as a collaborator in acts of remembering and reinterpretation rather than a replacement for artistic authorship.
