Reanimating the Past: Talia Grossman on AI, Family, and Identity

In this episode of The Creative Block, artist and media producer Talia Grossman shares the deeply personal story behind her AI-driven installation, White Australia. Blending fine art, archival research, and emerging technology, Talia uses tools like D-ID, Runway, and Kling to reanimate old family photographs—breathing new life into lost ancestors and confronting the complex layers of immigration, identity, and memory.   A former NCAA athlete and graduating senior at USC's Roski School of Art and Design, Talia speaks with host Vince Gonzales about growing up between cultures, the emotional impact of seeing her family's history move again, and how AI can become a tool for generational healing. Whether you're interested in art, storytelling, or the ethics of technology, this conversation will move you.
