Rococo Diffusion Artifacts, AI moving-image series by Ronen Tanchum at ZAZ10TS Times Square

Rococo Diffusion Artifacts

AI moving image series ZAZ10TS - Times Square, New York

Rococo Diffusion Artifacts extends the Rococo inquiry into diffusion-based image generation. Presented at ZAZ10TS in Times Square, New York, the series treats AI interpretation itself as material rather than hiding the model behind a polished image.

The work foregrounds diffusion residue: fracture, misreading, decorative excess, unstable form, synthetic texture, and the ornamental logic of machine vision. Botanical motifs appear as memory traces and digital apparitions, oscillating between flower, artifact, and hallucinated surface.

As a studio work, the series is both visual research and public media. It asks how AI moving image can preserve the evidence of its own making, and how machine artifacts can become part of the aesthetic language rather than errors to remove.
