Manipulations

Manipulated AI / machine learning generated images. 2020 - present.


What does an AI eye see?

We believe that the machine is creating images similar to what it was shown. But this prioritization on the visual reflects our own human biases and prejudices. The machine “sees” differently from us, and, so too, what it creates may not be entirely visible to our eyes. By manipulating the machine-created images I seek to reveal that which is not visible to us, but may be apparent, perhaps even obvious, to the machine. What are the hidden patterns, or the “irrational logic,” embedded within images created by the machine?
