I am an emerging artist and a scientist; My work as a theoretical physicist informs my work as an artist. I am interested in the intersection of aesthetic representation and scientific thought, particularly in exploring visual representations of the thought process that gives rise to new scientific ideas.
In my recent work, I focused on a more tangible question: the algorithmic process through which artificial intelligence models (AI) generate images. Rather than the final output, I explore the image creation process. One technique AI models use involves denoising a random set of pixels. By halting this process after a few iterations, I capture images in an early stage—before they converge into their final form. These intermediary images, raw and unrefined, inspire my work. I aim to subvert the AI model, uncovering aesthetic value in transient, evolving pixels. I use acrylic on aluminum panels to emphasize the inorganic qualities of AI. At the same time, my brushstrokes contrast the human touch of painting and the machine-like nature of the squares.
