Andréhn-Schiptjenko, Paris, France, 2022

Consisting of a series of paintings made during 2021-2022 utilizing the early AI image generation technology.
A prompt, later the title of each work, was used to batch create hundreds of AI images in google colab. Out of the images generated, I selected around 50 and printed them on drawing paper at a very high opacity. Then reworking them using graphite and eventually making them into large scale oils based on my drawings. I wanted to use the AI slop as a way to view the figurative image another way and find new pathways. At a time where everyone was worried how AI would kill the image, it felt necessary to approach the technology as creative way where I could view it more as an assistant than a threat.
