NEW ALBUM OUT JULY 4TH 2O25
SOUND
A.I. EXPERIMENTS
In December 2023, I began experimenting with A.I. text-to-image generation, primarily using DALL-E, as a way to explore the physical manifestation of sTAR-baby. This process became an existential inquiry into form, identity, and the possibilities of an imagined future. Through an ongoing dialogue with A.I., I’ve been probing questions like: What does the future look like? Who inhabits it? And how do we envision liberation within it? These experiments have become a collaborative exploration, blending my artistic vision with the unpredictable creativity of machine learning to imagine new worlds and the beings who might thrive within them.
