    Unusual Partnerships Between Humans and Machines

    Aberrant Creativity is an international, juried exhibition exploring the boundaries between our machines and ourselves. It is an opportunity for artists to challenge AI, to seduce AI into creative partnership, or lead it astray into play and joy.

    Navigating Latent Space

    Here’s a look at latent space mapping and discovery with the Athena Dataset; we experienced this mathematical space as a new physical world, as new terrain and territory.

  • Can technology save us from the climate crisis?

    Can technology save us from the climate crisis?

    The UVM Art and AI Research Group has created a project that director Jennifer Karson says begs the question: Can technology save us from the climate crisis?

  • Transfer Learning

    Transfer Learning

    This print illustrates the process of transfer learning, a machine learning technique when a model trained on one task is reused –usually to save time and computing energy– for another related task. A series of uncanny images reveals a machine learning model’s transition from a training dataset to a primary one.

  • Tiny Datasets

    Tiny Datasets

    The intimacy of a tiny dataset approach is in contrast with big data and its tendency to produce homogenized results; the Tiny Dataset series celebrates its local, limited, situated, chaotic, and precise results in alliance with Donna Haraway’s critique of “The God Trick.” 

  • When Artistic Authorship Meets Scientific Bias

    When Artistic Authorship Meets Scientific Bias

    “Team Picks” contrasts desirable artistic authorship and undesirable scientific bias. It confronts the destiny of any new technology – that it will eventually become an old, discarded one.

  • Five Guardrails for Artists Working with Machines and A.I.

    Five Guardrails for Artists Working with Machines and A.I.

    While attending the July Center for Machine Arts residency, surrounded by so many seductive artmaking technologies, I had to spend my time efficiently as we prepared for a fast-approaching exhibition. This is not an unfamiliar process for me as I routinely evaluate how machine learning serves my art practice; sometimes it does and other time…

  • The Three Generations of the Damaged Leaf Dataset (DLD)

    The Three Generations of the Damaged Leaf Dataset (DLD)

    Over 800 leaves from the Damaged Leaf Dataset were shown in floor to ceiling wallpaper at Burlington City Arts this spring. All three generations were represented, DLD III (created with AI) were shown as engravings on silicon wafers. Project Description: The leaf architectures of the Damaged Leaf Dataset (DLD) are ruins and creations. Collected in…
