Future Generations, a new series of 4x6 collages, combines family photography and AI imagery to consider how machine learning will influence collective memory.
Inherited film prints from Glovin’s family’s archive were scanned and inputted into the AI model Midjourney, carefully replicating the original as closely as possible. The image was then run through a description prompt, uncovering the signifiers that the model had used to decipher the image. Using a pigment transfer process, the text was superimposed over the image. In the action of combining the image and text, the result became quickly weathered, establishing a material history of its own.
The generated text underscores the kind of hyper classification and term coining found in contemporary Internet usage, where subtle differences are subjected to extreme practices of virtual taxonomy. The AI model does not provide context for these highly subjective images, but rather lists aesthetic categories and trending phrases. The film’s condition impacted the model’s perception, creating a string of non-sequiturs related to nostalgia and the formation of memory. The project captures an early moment in Image Generation that exposes the material with which the model was trained, revealing visual patterns within family photography and the similarities in our private lives.
Danielle Glovin [b. 1993] is a New York-based visual artist primarily working with photography and found media. Influenced by her commercial work within the fashion industry, her art practice is concerned with ideas of obsolescence, simulation and the blurring of reality as it pertains to media consumption and urban environments.
BRICE GOLDBERG | RICHMOND, VA
One Hundred White Trucks, 2024.
16mm film projection.
One Hundred White Trucks is an exploration in structuralist methodology and analog filmmaking techniques. It was photographed with a Bolex H16 Reflex camera over the course of two days with two, 100 foot, black and white 16mm rolls. The film was then hand processed and scanned to digital. What began as an obsession with a singular subject revealed timely symbolism of the late stage capitalist American landscape.
Brice Goldberg is a filmmaker, photographer and musician born in Philadelphia. His documentary films exploring the lives of unique individuals have been shown in festivals and galleries around the world. He is currently pursuing his MFA at VCUArts in Richmond, VA, where he is exploring experimental analog filmmaking methods and techniques.

Elsewhere takes an introspective dive into my own immigrating journey to Finland, and the feelings of isolation consequently involved, using the landscape as a tool for emotional catharsis. I present a space for contemplation, interwinding elements of poetic narration, infrared photography and references to pictorialism.
It reflects upon the deeper material connection between landscape and image-making through an exploration of traditional printing techniques like photopolymer etching and the use of handmade Japanese paper.
Francisco Gonzalez Camacho (b. 1990) is a Spanish visual artist based in Helsinki. He holds a BA in Documentary Photography at the University of South Wales (UK), currently studying a Masters' degree in Photography at Aalto University (FI). Gonzalez Camacho's work presents a process-based approach interweaving photography and graphic printing methods.
His practice is a result of intuitive exploration centered around themes such as materiality, immigration and the connectedness between landscape and self. He has been exhibited internationally including The Finnish Museum of Photography (FI), The Center for Photographic Art (US), The Kiyosato Museum of Photographic Arts (JP) and featured in publications such as Der Greif, Booooooom, C41 magazine and GUP magazine among others.

He is part of the permanent collection of The Kiyosato Museum of Photographic Arts (JP), The Museum of Avant-Garde (CH) and The Amedeo Modigliani Foundation (IT).

As Seen On The Ground, 2025
8.5 x 11 inches x 80 pages.
Edition 1 of 10
$60
"As Seen on the Ground" is a year-long anthology combining haiku and photos of found objects. Goodman originally began the project as a joke, making fun of the advertising label "As Seen on TV." The idea of making a product more valuable simply due to its visibility on television is rather absurd, and he thought, "What if advertisers marketed products on the ground? We are constantly seeing things on the ground (litter, ephemera), and a bag of Doritos looks the same on TV as it does flattened on the sidewalk."
When he started taking the photos, he began to notice perfectly curated moments on the ground. For instance, a yellow sticky note with someone's name on it; cartons of used fireworks; bagels scattered in the grass in the park. The list goes on. The project became a scavenger hunt to document these ready-made assemblages. There’s an essence of humor in these found objects due to their inherent incongruity. Seeing these objects randomly scattered around the city creates a strange context where these items are not where they should be and spark a mystery as to how they got there. Walking around the city, you never know what you might expect to see, especially on the ground.
There is also a layer of dark comedy involved with these images. At the same time he is celebrating these found objects and pieces of litter, he is also making light of the copious amounts of garbage left around the city and the apathy towards the environment.
"As Seen on the Ground" features 25 photos shot on 35mm Kodak UltraMax 400 film using a Canon Autoboy S point-and-shoot camera. Each photo is accompanied by a corresponding haiku inspired by the poems of Richard Wright, author of Haiku: This Other World.
Adam Philip Goodman was born in Germantown, Maryland in 1999. He earned his BFA in Communication Arts from Virginia Commonwealth University in the Fall of 2020 and currently resides in Philadelphia PA. Goodman works primarily in collage and film photography to document urban environments through a comedic lens. He was a featured illustrator for the Visual Art Center of Richmond in 2023 and has had work shown in VCU's The Anderson Gallery.
ALLISON GRANT | BOSTON, MA
Within the Bittersweet, published in 2025
Photo Book, 8.25 x 11 inches,
112 pages, full color,
Edition of 250,
$50
For a generation of parents raising children today, climate change is no longer a distant threat–it's a kitchen table issue. Urgent questions shadow the wonder, struggle, and complexity of everyday life: What will the world our children inherit look like? Will it even be habitable?
These images are drawn from my series "Within the Bittersweet," a project that explores the emotional weight of raising my daughters in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, against the backdrop of climate crisis and local industrial pollution. Drawing on a long tradition of socially conscious photographers who make political work laden with the personal, my images negotiate pressing new concerns as our planet undergoes rapid and irreversible change.
