I am an engineer turned humanities scholar turned visual artist. In my artistic work I combine photography, image processing, creative coding and artificial intelligence, which I started using 2015.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although I work with digital images, my final works are usually art prints or small installations. I also like to work on gradually evolving images, looking like an art print on a screen, but changing constantly but almost imperceptibly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Visual arts attracted me as a way to escape rational thinking inherent in language. I am not really interested in most recent developments in AI based tools. Rather, I am breaking AI into parts which I can reassemble into my own kind of tools for visual experimentation<\/em>. In the early days of AI art from 2015 to 2021, there was no other way. I am still on this way, adopting new technology only when it makes sense artistically. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I mostly use AI that is trained on limited material. You don’t need art to train a model to use in making art.<\/em> It is enough to extract a reasonable set visual features during training, and then use creative techniques to apply this limited artificial perception<\/em> to make and transform images.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So my way is to keep building my personal AI so as to remain true to my own visual goals. I start by taking photos which are then transformed and combined in various ways. Need to experiment a lot to really capture the look and feel that is my own. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
