class="content__text" 100 River Ob "If there is something that opens the horizons, it is precisely ignorance." [...] It is a tortuous thought, the one going on in my mind. I wonder if it is happening because, while reading, from the window on my left, the flat-blue and moderately misty horizon of the Gunpower river bay opens to my view or because I lack the right amount of morning caffeine. The landscape in front of me is not extremely exciting. Still, it reminds me of a photo taken a few years earlier from the shore of the river Ob in Russia's Yamal Peninsula during a freezing -42c morning in 2019. The river, in its vastness, was a pale blue frozen horizon crossed by a dark blue glare. [...] By a tortuous generative association of thoughts, I connect Gary's sentence to this image - aided by the window landscape – and to an article by Lev Manovich on generative algorithms that turn textual input into images that I have read a few weeks before. While waiting to arrive in Washington, I uploaded “River Ob” into the DALLE-2 software and tried to describe the photograph. Read more on the link in the bio.
