In a world where AI is rapidly transforming industries and redefining creativity, there remains a charming and profound significance in art created by human hands. I am cultivating this ever-evolving landscape in my work. I hook by hand, navigating the strange balance between technology and tradition. My hope is that in some peculiar way I am celebrating the irreplaceable value of human touch.
The Allure of Human-Made Art
Every piece of art I create is a testament to the intricacies and imperfections that only a human can impart. While AI excels at executing precise, repetitive tasks and analyzing complex data sets, it lacks the intuition, emotional depth, and spontaneous creativity that define human artistry. Will AI ever be able to create the subtle variances, the intentional flaws, and the unique personal touch that one feels in looking at human made art?
Finding Inspiration in Technology I am fascinated by, and work at the intersection of technology and creativity. I read about AI, I use it to write code and answer questions, mostly about itself. How was it created? What are the limitations of the algorithms behind the interface? As I strive to understand how we have created an entity that can reflect back all of the digitized human experience. Despite, or because of the themes in which I am compelled to work, there is an inherent juxtaposition between my creations because AI can't do what I do.
In developing my own understanding and relationship with emergent AI technologies, I have found profound inspiration for my textile art. Perceptrons, the building blocks of neural networks, and matmul, the fundamental operation in machine learning, inspire my work in two of my specific pieces. These mathematical and computational principles have become the foundation of my designs, but their transformation into physical, usable art transforms the digital in the realm of human experience is almost the opposite of a virtual reality. Each loop, each pattern, and each cut of fabric is an act of creation that AI can only conceptualize but never truly replicate. I am creating a real reality.
The Limitations of AI in Art
I am glad that AI, despite its impressive capabilities, cannot imbue a piece of art with the essence of human experience. The tactile feedback, the decision-making process that adjusts on the fly, and the emotional journey of creation are aspects where AI falls short.
AI is a tool. In my case, it is an assistant that helps me develop new possibilities and expand my creative boundaries. However, the final creation, the tangible piece of art that one can touch and feel underfoot, is a product of my hands, my intuition, and my vision. This human element is what makes each piece unique and valuable.
A Call to Collaboration
If you resonate with the themes of my work and are intrigued by the interplay of AI and traditional art forms, I would love to hear from you. Let's embark on a creative journey together, exploring ideas that inspire both of us. Whether you are interested in commissioning a unique piece or simply want to discuss themes that pique your curiosity, I am here to collaborate and create.
