AI Works 2026 (This section is under construction)

Though initially resistant to integrating machine learning into my practice, recent experimentation revealed the profound collaborative potential of generative technology. By prompting AI to create dialogic montages between my own oeuvre and historical masterworks, I discovered a surprisingly nuanced tool for aesthetic interrogation. The institutional resistance to AI-generated art among juried exhibitions and galleries represents a critical misstep, misinterpreting a new medium as a threat rather than an evolution. Much like the advent of the camera or digital manipulation, artificial intelligence is a tool—one that artists are already repurposing to push the boundaries of visual language.

Creating Paintings from Video Still Frames

Using AI makes it possible to take low resolution video frames and generate high resolution images suitable for robotically generated oil paintings. These images were recorded in 2012 at a Mardi Gras Event in Pensacola Florida.
