The poster series I AM ERICA was created as a communal memory of the 2024 US Election. In order to explore representation of American identity, nine participants across the country contributed images of their election week experience to be interpreted into posters that represent collective themes. The final posters use a minimum of 3 images from 3 different participants to weave together a picture of the American experience and were used to train a ChatBot to recount memories of the week from a first person point of view.
