Inexistent Realities
Exploring the boundaries between traditional and digital art forms by utilising AI to generate imagery and then processing it to create a photographic aesthetic hinting at deeper meanings and hidden or subjective realities.*
*About AI images
I came to AI image generation belatedly and reluctantly. But the early results seemed nothing short of miraculous, a novelty that felt genuinely new, exciting, and opened up new realms and possibilities. That initial sense of wonder has largely subsided. The too-smooth surfaces, the visual errors, the uncanny slickness have become harder to ignore, and much of what is here still bears what people have started calling 'AI slop'. I acknowledge that freely.
But I've become interested in those very faults. The mistakes and the strangeness are starting to seem less like limitations and more like possibilities, a visual territory worth exploring on its own terms. At other times, the process is simply that I try to conjure an image of something I have imagined to see where it leads.
