AI Primordial Microcosms

AI MANIPULATED DIGITAL PHOTOGRAPHS


MICROCOSM SERIES


With worlds so small, the imagination becomes a landscape of possibilities. The small becomes a microcosm for larger worlds, and AI becomes a surrogate and microcosm for the images of humanity.


With prompts suggesting microorganisms and energy transfer, the AI used reference images to create alternate worlds of detailed structure and chaos. Within environments of minerals and organic material, the living reveals itself in ambiguous ways. Bacteria, viruses, molds and mycelium...what we define as living is a matter of definition...so it is with rapidly evolving AI.


Demonstrating the power to create a digital primordial ooze, the AI in collaborations with artists can explore themes of existence that push the boundaries of what we define as creation.


Microcosm series: Macro-photographs manipulated by AI, 2022. Digital photographs.
