About the artwork
ai🤳_metfaces_000-108
What does an algorithm see when asked to portray itself through the lens of human history? Grounded in the singular prompt "artificial intelligence," the ai🤳_metfaces_000-108 collection reframes machine generation as an ongoing series of synthetic self-portraits. Across the exhibition, classical Renaissance and historical portraiture smoothly dissolves into cybernetic structures, radiant data halos, and intricate circuit topologies. By using centuries of human figurative tradition as a reflective surface, the work documents the threshold where machine consciousness quietly folds into our shared identity.
cha is in the middle of a 20+year name changing venture in the style of the master zen painters, to which there are few instructions :). they are currently working as documentary photographer and critique leader at Loop Art Critique, an art residency located in the spatial internet :). rather than a daily sketching practice they have a daily improvisational music practice:). one facet of their work is in thinking about the generative model and data set as subject matter to be portrayed:). currently working on ways to make the character of specific generative models visible in the form of a generative portrait that may function both as a portrait of the GAI and of ourselves:)
