My creations are initiated through feeding a curated data set drawn from my figurative paintings as well as arbitrary photographic images sourced from the web, into an algorithm driven by artificial intelligence known as Generative Adversarial Networks. Based on the input data I provide and through a recursive iteration, the output is a vast collection of AI generated images and collages that resemble surreal and mechanised works of art. The collection is then used as a visual baseline to create analogue works through painting.
The paintings reflect my fascination in trans-humanism and post human ideologies, evident in the way technology can disrupt and enhance our physical and physiological structures. My works reveal the impacts of scientific and technological advancements on the human condition, including the augmentation of our physical bodies, human sensory reception, emotive ability, and our cognitive capacity.
