"Jutters"

Meike Driessen, Selina Khan, Gonçalo Marcelino

Abstract

This project explores how we engage with AI-generated content through the lens of the jutter: Dutch coastal foragers who comb the shoreline after storms, gathering and repurposing what the sea leaves behind. Reflecting how our lives are increasingly shaped by AI-generated media, we create a beach-like installation that blends real shoreline debris with AI-transformed images and videos. Visitors are invited to explore this space as contemporary jutters, deciding what to keep and what to discard. In doing so, the project reimagines AI-imagery as material for reflection, encouraging a more discerning engagement with the content that drifts through our feeds. A video preview of the installation can be found at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L6319Ii7MT8.
