"CUSP"
2019, 4K digital video with audio, 13 minute loop
Marsh bird images randomly generated by a neural network (GAN*) into this tidal landscape.


"Closed Loop"
2017, 2-channel digital video without sound, 200 minute loop

Closed Loop is a recording of two artificial intelligence models conversing with each other - one with words1 the other with images2 - in a never-ending feedback loop. The words of one describe the images of the other, which then seeks to describe the words with a fresh image… Two neural networks getting lost in their own nuances, sparking and branching off each other as they converse in a perpetual game of AI "Exquisite Corpse".
