Art of the Machine (2023)

Some examples from my Art of the Machine series. In this series I explore the AI text-to-image transformation of extended technical poetics drawn from post-phenomenological texts and their historical antecedents such as Lewis Mumford’s The Myth of the Machine. In

The Drowned World 2023 edition

A selection of recent work drawn from my The Drowned World series. This series mixes personal journaling with extracts from dystopian and hopepunk narrative to offer an anticipatory aesthetics of possible futures.  The work was originally evolved from my oil

drowning world

When those in power have no vision the world is given to the artists to try and bring solace to a damaged environment. Style Transfer transformations (2022) of an original oil paining by SK Choi, 36″ x 24″, 2014.

The AI Laocoön – text to image in The Drowned World project (2022)

The Drowned World project employs text-driven image synthesis to explore the ambiguous distinction the media introduces between imagination and virtuality. The machine learning technology in these explorations (VQGAN+CLIP) is an amalgamation of a generative adversarial network (VQGAN – Vector Quantized

The Cargo Cult series (2020)

My image-making process—supposedly an internal and personal voyage—questions how much of creative intention is constituted through the unperceived external mediation of experience. Is the artist, as Kurt Vonnegut has suggested, “a canary in a coal mine,” an entity unstuck in

Mapping the latent space of neural media (2018)

“Neural media” emerges from deep learning image classification technology. These technologies, broadly construed, group information based on multi-dimensional statistical sampling to build high-level pattern descriptions of diverse input data. Defining information as recombinant patterns of levels of texture-structure enables that

The Reflective Machine (2019)

The Reflective Machine engages with an image praxis I call neural painting—a method of using machine learning convolutional neural networks to algorithmically (and agonistically) manipulate and blend natural world derived style palettes with technical imagery I capture in my compositional
