Normalisation in Generative Image Systems
Dossier · Version 1.0 · 2026
This dossier examines generative image and video systems as reflections of societal patterns of representation. It focuses on a structured case study of how individuals and relationship constellations are represented under controlled formal conditions.
The dossier treats generative AI as a probabilistic mechanism of condensation rather than as a moral agent. It examines how statistical distributions in training data make certain representations more probable and thereby contribute to their stabilisation.
