Joud Toamah is a Syrian designer based in Belgium. Her visual research on the acts of remembrance and forgetfulness emerging from repetitive interactions resulted in drawing an image from memory every day, for a period of 100 days.
After drawing these images she designed a system for destroying these images through analog and digital manipulations such as cutting, folding and blurring the images.
She experimented with GANdelve to "restore" the original image after its destruction. She used both the 100 hand-drawn original images and the 100 destroyed images to train different models. The result is a collection of 5 movies of images being reconstructed, deconstructed and explored.
