Plot
SWIM is a meditation on visual archives, the datafication of memory, and training data in the age of generative artificial intelligence. In a reproduction of the AI training process, a digital archival film is slowly diffused as its subject frolics underwater. The actress dissolves into 'training data,' amidst a backdrop made from visualizations of generative AI searching for patterns in the absence of any training data at all.
