What Do You Know About Love?

Closure Statement

Last updated:

TL;DR: Submissions are closed. Continuing with AI-generated imagery no longer aligns with our values due to uncredited labor extraction, environmental costs, and reinforcing harmful hierarchies. The archive remains; the project rests.

What Do You Know About Love? was created to explore the many ways humans reflect on the tenderness and contradictions of love and the stories that make us who we are. Through hundreds of responses and images, the project became a living archive of empathy and imagination.

Over time it became clear that continuing this work with AI-generated imagery no longer felt aligned. The deeper I looked, the more I saw how generative systems rely on the uncredited labor of real artists, impose significant environmental costs, and reinforce hierarchies that art is meant to resist. As Jessica Wildfire wrote, “real art and democracy are deeply entwined.”

Closing this project is an act of accountability and care. It served its purpose; it sparked reflection, connection, and conversation. Now it rests, making space for work rooted in integrity, sustainability, and human expression.

Thank you to everyone who contributed, shared, and believed in this experiment. Your words and presence will always remain part of its story.

With love,

Vie P.

This reflection was inspired in part by Jessica Wildfire’s essay, “The Biggest Problem with AI Art” (The Sentinel Intelligence, 2025).

Note: AI generated images may remain visible in the archive for historical context. We are evaluating how best to label, replace, or remove them over time.
