Show HN: Simulacra and Simulation” Photography Project

Simulacra and Simulation is a conceptual photography project that is meant to explore what constitutes reality in an image. First, I ask ChatGPT to create a detailed description of a famous photograph. Second, I provide that description to Midjourney, which creates a flawed, but usually recognizable interpretation of the original photograph. Third, I capture my computer screen, where the Midjourney image is visible, with a medium format film camera. Fourth, I hand develop and print the resulting image, which is now very much a real photograph of a facsimile of a real photograph.
