‘Failure’ That was what Che Go Eun’s father called her when she returned to South Korea, an artist defying his traditional expectations of women. In response, she fed their conversations into Stable Diffusion, retraining the AI to generate dancheong motifs: traditional Korean patterns often absent from Western-focused datasets. Through this process, Che Go seeks to de-Westernize and humanize AI, reinterpreting its generated images as delicate watercolours in an ongoing dialogue between heritage, technology, and identity.
