About the artwork:
Artificial Resonance gives reverence to the growing relationship
between humans and Artificial Intelligence. In this collaboration with A.I, dystopian
sci-fi realities and our relationship with technology, are countered through empathy.
For the creation of this work, I created a dialogue with A.I, asking questions about
how it interpreted different emotions.
A.I described happiness as “A tulip cake from the renaissance”. I put this answer into an
A.I art generator. Then transformed the resulting image into a textile sculpture as a way of
responding to the dialogue.
These conversations, delving into how A.I understands emotions, became a symbol that through empathy and communication, we can nurture the direction of A.I.
At its core, this work describes our relationship with A.I as more intentional and a
mirror of all human interaction.
It is my hope that by building bridges of understanding and communicating empathetically, we will gravitate toward a more utopian future.
