Next steps for your final project:
.
Prototype
- Create a prototype (mock-up) of your final archive. If you are working on a printed publication, present a few sample pages; for those developing a digital archive, showcase select screens; and if your project involves an exhibition, display sketches outlining the spatial experience.
- Make sure that the prototype includes some of your final recordings—or representations of what you anticipate your records will resemble, including captions.
Draft Introduction
- Use the questions collected in the document “Archive ⇄ Introduction” in our shared google drive to think about your project. These questions encourage reflection on the purpose, context, and history, as well as methods, techniques, dissemination, and audience considerations.
- As you respond, integrate references to two sources, such as articles, books, or works of artists or designers that have served as inspiration for your project. Weave these elements into a cohesive text spanning 500 words. Not all questions may be relevant based on the direction your final archive has taken. Add this introduction to the top of your research document.

Your Final Archive
Your final archive must include:
- (1) at least 100 visual recordings;
- (2) each recording needs to have a caption;
- (3) your introduction of at least 500 words

Documentation
While you can continue this at home, please add the following to your research document:
- Include a screenshot of your “training set” — capture the folder (in icon view) showing the images you used to train your AI model.
- Select and document at least three sets of generations (1–5 images each) produced by the model. Feel free to include more if you find them relevant or interesting.
- Write a brief reflection on the process:
What did you discover? Which results sparked new questions or ideas for you? How might this experiment shape or influence the direction of your final project?
