Changelog Dall-E is a project in which I collected images from Open AI’s image generator, Dall-E monthly over the course of two years using the two word prompt, “A face.” Each month, the AI would generate a set of four images that I composited into a single ghostly image, screenprinted in white on semi translucent plastic.
Over time, changes to the rules governing the AI became evident through the output that Dall-E generated. Within the images, biases in the training data emerged in the form of predominantly white female faces, almost always human, although there have been occasional notable changes.
