At the heart of my artistic philosophy lies the concept of Augmented Iconography, where the abbreviation of AI echoes the profound augmentation of human existence through technology, transcending mere functionality to illuminate the spiritual, physical, and emotional dimensions of our being.
In my artistic pursuit, I embark on a sophisticated exploration of the intricate interplay between humanity and technology, leveraging the remarkable capabilities of AI, notably ChatGPT 3.5, as a pivotal catalyst in my creative odyssey. Beyond mere utility, I engage ChatGPT 3.5 in profound conversations, distilling its insights into the very essence of my artistic expression.This symbiotic exchange serves as the fertile soil from which my ideas blossom, unveiling the rich tapestry of human aspirations intricately interwoven with the tapestry of technological progress. Through these dialogues, I bear witness to the symbiotic relationship between human cognition and technological innovation, casting light on the dynamic relashionship between creator and creation.
At the heart of my artistic philosophy lies the concept of Augmented Iconography, where the abbreviation of AI echoes the profound augmentation of human existence through technology, transcending mere functionality to illuminate the spiritual, physical, and emotional dimensions of our being. This conceptual framework serves as a prism through which I look at the complex layers of human-machine interaction, delving into the depths of our collective consciousness.
Harnessing archaism and fictionalization as transformative tools within Augmented Iconography, I alchemize digital constructs—such as code, algorithms, and emojis—into tangible, human-crafted forms. This alchemical process infuses these digital essences with palpable humanity, inviting contemplation on the essence of our technological reality and its profound implications for our shared human experience.
Employing laborious, meticulous, and elaborate artistic processes and mediums (hand sewing, intricate embroidery, and traditional iconography mediums like gold leaf and ink) I reflect the modifications of code and symbols, emphasizing the human-made quality of the artworks while grounding them in historical and cultural references.
In my representation of figures and symbols, I maintain a flat two-dimensional approach reminiscent of ancient Egyptian art, highlighting their shared space and relationship with code and writing. The overwhelming composition of Augmented Iconography artworks, inundated with information such as code, writings, images, and symbols, mirrors the relentless "feed" of the Internet and social media, encapsulating the anxieties of constant validation and the human conflict inherent in technological use.
My artistic endeavor is driven by a desire to unravel the intricate tapestry of data-driven realities woven by human hands, offering a deeper understanding of the transformative potential of technology and its impact on humanity. Through my creations, I beckon viewers to ponder the evolving nexus of human ingenuity and technological advancement, urging reflection on the shifting contours of our collective values and the very essence of our humanity.
