Creative Practice
What excites me most about working with creative technologies is the ability to cultivate, direct, and collaborate with emergence. Life and intelligence, are fundamental emergent processes, whether biological or artificial in form. Much of my work explores this theme, examining the evolutionary potential of symbiosis between artificial and biological systems. These ideas, along with the growing ambiguity between the physical and the virtual, inform my immersive virtual worlds, 3D-printed sculptures, and high-resolution images and animations.
My work investigates the creative process itself and its power to inspire awe, engage the imagination, and provoke existential insight. I’ve experimented with diverse processes, mediums, and technologies to understand and harness emergent behavior in my work.
Emergence occurs when novel properties and behaviors arise from interactions between the parts of a system - properties and behaviors that are not inherent to, nor predictable from, the parts themselves. Emergence is the fundamental process by which complexity and novelty manifest across all domains, including the natural, technological, and conceptual contexts that drive my artistic inquiry.
When generative AI emerged, I was eager to explore its potential for emergent behavior. I began integrating it with digital painting and compositing in an iterative process to create highly detailed, large-format prints.
Throughout my practice, I aim to integrate emergence with intention and direct manipulation. My goal is to create novel works that expand the possibilities of art, inspire awe, and engage the imagination and intellect.
