Step into the universe of "Seven" where the power of the "Red Lens" beckons. As a guide through this enigmatic journey, I place in your hands the lens to unravel the intricate threads of human existence. Envy, lust, pride, wrath, sloth, gluttony, and greed seamlessly blend within the tapestry of everyday life. Seize the lens, turn its perspective like the unpredictable twists of a narrative, and traverse corridors where the Seven Deadly Sins silently resonate. Let the lens reveal a narrative where the ordinary morphs into an extraordinary story, painted with hues that defy the mundane.

What remains of works of art when they escape our gaze?
          There remain traces produced by their memories.

A memory made up of a series of patterns which link together to form diaphanous images.
          In this action close to imagination, it is, once again, about making the artwork come alive.
          Its about bringing past forms back to life by updating them in our present.

An artwork is the precipitate of the artist"s imagination.
          This act of projecting images which will then become matter is similar to that of memory where mental images are arranged with a view to reconstructing the past.
          These two movements, one turned towards the future and the other towards the past, meet in latent space.

Here, artificial imagination acts as a machine to restore the memory of an aesthetic experience.
          It becomes a universal canvas where Bonnard, Monet and Van Gogh coexist, not as figures of the past, but as potentialities, echoes of what could have been and what could happen.
          In this imaginary space, color serves as a detonator for a reminiscence of artworks sometimes seen, sometimes dreamed of.

Memories of an Exhibition was born from this crazy desire of a painter: that of painting this memory.

Post Photographic Perspectives III: Taming The Machine

*Post Photographic Perspectives III: Taming The Machine*

The initial Fellowship program was all about photography. We worked with artists like Gregory Crewdson, Guy Bourdin, Cristina de Middel, Laurie Simmons, August Sander, and many more. We see photography as one of the mediums that created one of the most important cultural shifts of the last 200 years. Photography is everywhere, and its effects can be felt in all aspects of life and art. So when AI images started to speak a sort of ""photographic"" language, we believed it was imperative to address the connection between these mediums. At their core, both mediums describe the world we live in. One directly captures it, the other one is an imagined picture of the world. For our last installment of the Post Photographic Perspectives group exhibitions, we wanted to offer a clear view of how AI tools and artistic explorations we saw artists using in PPP I have changed and evolved into different visual manifestations in a period of one year.

This curatorial project looks to present a group of artists who, via their individual techniques and themes, are fighting the machine hallucinations created via AI tools to create a unique voice within the myriad of AI images being produced today. In this push and pull, new propositions of form are being developed that emanate an apparent tension between the generic production of images these algorithmic tools are intended to create and the creators" desires to impose their artistic visions.

As artists venture into this new frontier, they confront a delicate balance: how much of their creative process should be entrusted to the machine, and at what point does this partnership become a relinquishment of control? Each piece in the exhibition serves as a marker in this ongoing negotiation, a reflection of the artist"s struggle to maintain authority over a tool that possesses the capacity to both amplify and overshadow.

The very act of integrating AI into the artistic process raises questions about authorship and authenticity. As the machine learns and adapts, generating outputs that can surprise and even transcend initial expectations, artists must decide where to draw the line. The fear of becoming mere operators, guiding a process rather than birthing a vision, looms large. It prompts a reevaluation of what it means to create, pushing artists to establish boundaries that ensure their hand remains firmly at the helm, guiding the AI without being subsumed by its capabilities.

Yet, ""Taming the Machine"" is not just a showcase of these struggles; it is also a testament to the human spirit in the face of technological upheaval. It celebrates the artists who navigate this complex terrain and those who learn to speak the language of algorithms without losing their own. These creators do not shy away from the machine"s potential but engage with it critically, setting limits where necessary to safeguard the personal touch that defines their work.

In this context, the machine is neither adversary nor sovereign but a catalyst that, when carefully managed, can expand the horizons of what is possible in art. The exhibition underscores the importance of intentionality in using AI tools, advocating for a partnership where the artist"s vision remains paramount, and the technology serves to realize that vision in previously unimaginable ways.

""Taming the Machine emerges as a narrative of adaptation, highlighting the ongoing dialogue between human creativity and digital innovation; a current journey marked by moments of tension and harmony.

Ringers by Dmitri Cherniak

There are an almost infinite number of ways to wrap a string around a set of pegs. On the surface it may seem like a simple concept but prepare to be surprised and delighted at the variety of combinations the algorithm can produce. Each output from "Ringers" is derived from a unique transaction hash and generated in Javascript in the browser. Feature variations include peg count, sizing, layout, wrap orientation, and a few colorful flourishes for good measure.
