HEY BOY
Pareidolia is the tendency to perceive a specific, often meaningful image in a random or ambiguous visual pattern. This natural cognitive process is reflected in the way AI generates images from the noise we feed it. I also see it in my own distorted perception of the past and the way my memories form and evolve - blurring, sharpening, latching onto crumbs and building a surreal story into the gaps. I address this psychedelic phenomenon through multiple series that explore the thresholds of intimacy and detachment. I bounce around those liminal spaces within my nomadic lifestyle, but they are also playing out in our own technological evolution.
During my ongoing conversation with this medium, it begins to feel like communicating with a wild animal. The languages only overlap to an extent. I love playing with the edges of that, coaxing this chaotic organization of ideas toward my own vision right at the fringes of understanding. I’m engaging with something organic and relatable in the artifacts of the dreamlike way AI communicates.
My process is both analog and digital, involving photography, printing, scanning, physical and digital manipulation, and AI. It’s very active, fluid, and playful, with each piece feeding into another in the same way this new technology is taking on a life of its own.
