Recent projects:
Experimental AI artworks: These artworks were created by first painting images by hand, very slowly, over hundreds of hours. These paintings were then bred very quickly into a multitude of variations using various AI image engines. The resulting artworks are both slow and human, and fast and algorithmic. No text prompts were input into the AI engine – the only direction provided was in the form of the original handmade paintings.
Blockchain data visualisations: These animated artworks were created using variety of experimental algorithms that were made to sample public domain historical paintings.
Trading cards: EOS blockchain transaction data determine the nature of transitions between pairs of trading cards originally issued in the late 1800s.
