Introduction
In Lisbon, Odete connected DALL-E with a library, textiles and moving images, using fictional bodies and pasts to question archival exclusion.
Why this entry remains in the timeline
Editorial interpretation: generated imagery participates in a counter-archive’s narrative and material display, beyond a single technical image. Fictional history is not newly discovered historical fact; the library’s invitation to participate is not blanket permission to reproduce its contents.
Archive editorial judgment based on the cited sources; this does not establish global priority.
RESEARCH ACCOUNT
Artifício: Odete’s generated imagery and fictional archive
ANTI-AI ARCHIVE · Revised 2026-10-24
Work, media and date
Galerias Municipais lists the exhibition at Galeria da Boavista, curated by Marta Espiridião. The account describes a physical and digital library for reading and recomposing texts. Odete republishes the same curatorial text and dates the solo exhibition to 2023; these are related accounts, not independent verification.
