Machine Collaborations is a project using Artificial Intelligence to create reinterpretations of my paintings. I then sort through thousands of generated images to select a curated set of images that I use as keyframes in a video which is then stitched together again using the AI software. I enter the creator role again to edit mix, add to and blend the layered video into a perpetually evolving system. An artwork that lives in a perpetual state of self definition and transformation. The collaborative component assures that while I am the originator of the image data set and later on as a curatorial role, I am neither fully in control, nor am I completely removed from the process. This process explores the middle ground between human and machine. This piece incorporates the waveform elements that are significant in my personal iconography evoking water, fluidity and a constant state of change.
