Machine Seeing Nature
2023 - present
How does a machine see nature? Are they opposites or intimates? Over evolutionary time, human vision evolved to be finely tuned to the natural world. Machines, in their quest to mimic human perception, develop a visual lexicon that echos this connection to nature. In a moment of uncertain relationship between AI and climate change, the artist seeks to reunite machine vision with its natural origins — juxtaposing the machine-learned patterns within the landscape.
