Memory Loss is a generative art collection created with p5js. It is all about reminiscence- reminiscing on a place in the past.

With Memory Loss I wanted to create something that would be visually quite simple, opening it up to the interpretation of the viewer.

When I was young, my mind was flexible, able to fabricate memories of forgotten lands. Robot Pirate Island was never more than a few seconds away. Growing older, this ability dampened. The area of my brain used for imagination was filled with school, work, family, and friends. And yet, when I look at each Memory Loss I see a distant land; a rocky outcrop; a field of wheat; a  rough sea.

INFINITE | 無限 invites an exploration of the dichotomy between vastness and singularity, encapsulating the essence of spatial and dimensional dynamics. Moving from clearly delineated boundaries of color and shape to more nebulous and subjective, like the edges of a thought or feeling. It is an allusion to the ever-expanding nature of our universe, the inconceivable borders that define our cosmic reality.

The project alludes to the exploration of the minutiae, the absolute singular, the elemental. It invites us to broaden our perceptions of both the physical and metaphysical dimensions, as well as our understanding of the world and our place within it. The AI model, once trained, endlessly produces new visuals. The metaphorical ebb and flow of these AI-generated images, their birth, and their subsequent journey into the universe, encourage a meditative state, as if taking part in a digital transcendental journey into the heart of the cosmos.

Visuals are created with Javascript code and custom GAN model, trained by artist. Outputs are generated live with model and code hosted on Blockchain/IPFS.
Training data of the artist’s custom AI model includes paint close ups, abstract photographs and original images by ESA/Hubble (esahubble.org)

INFINITE | 無限

A structure, once whole, has split. Shadows reach from one side to the other in a futile attempt to bridge the gap. The impossible distance from here to there is too far to judge. The light indicates a moment in time, as if the sides could still be moving. But are they drifting apart or will they come back together?

Impossible Distance

I'm sure you know what Suma is about. You could say it in English sum, and then it's an elementary arithmetical problem, the total amount of something that exists. 

Suma system is divided in two equal parts, displayed side by side. Symbolic surface areas are given the exact same quantity of resources, just look at the numbers. But they don't appear to be alike or identical.  Differing points of advantage or disadvantage are highlighted by structural glowing barrier. Constant challenging movements are fixing the system, striving to achieve equilibrium. 

“Not everything that is faced can be changed. But nothing can be changed until it is faced.”
― James Baldwin

*Navette* explores a juxtaposition of the virtual and reality by fusing a digital generative process and a physical loom. This collection offers a voyage between the worlds, a shuttle weaving between the two. Using a combination of digital techniques adapted for the physical world, *Navette* plays with the notions of series and unique pieces, but also of the inherent randomness of the digital realm—featuring the infamous “glitch.” Generative art thus becomes a way of taking a shuttle to the edge of a new universe…
