Nero Cosmos In The Studio
I am artist who invites the viewer to see the world through the eyes of a machine. I am interested in how consciousness evolves in digital space and affects daily life. My work focuses on ideas of perception and transformation through Artificial Intelligence, exploring the reciprocal relationship between humans and technology and creating work that mediates between a real and an abstract world.
What inspires you?
I’m inspired by a broad range of subjects and artistic work. This also includes literature, science and mathematics. I’m not just interested in how my work is being created, but the philosophical connection between my work in reflection of technology in our world.
Describe your creative process.
I use technology as a means to an end. I consider any form of technology that I integrate in my concepts as an important and complementary part of my work. As these technologies evolve in the future, so will my art. Due to the training of the Artificial Intelligence model, I lose temporary control as the algorithm takes over the creative process. The machine and I are intentionally forced to collaborate and exist in a constant symbiosis, breaking the viewer’s perception into a multitude of possibilities.
Who are some artists that have influenced your work?
I'm more inspired by artists in the classical sense. Some artists that inspire me are, American artist Matthew Barney, the minimalism of Phil Sims, and the author Miriam Meckel. In Meckel’s book Next, she describes a hypothetical, dystopian age where algorithms survive without humans. I would also like to mention Mathematician Alan Turing, who developed the Turing Test in order to test the thinking ability of a machine.
Where do you go for inspiration?
Honestly, there is no such place.
