Habsburg AI Portrait Studies Martin Disley Habsburg AI Portrait Studies is a series of cloth-printed generative portrait images and a short frame-interpolated animation produced using a bespoke diffusion model recursively retrained on its own output. This autophagous training causes the model to collapse on itself, constricting the model’s distribution around the mean, forcing it to […]

Against All Odds and Gravity (2025) We extend ourselves through synthetic limbs and simulated senses, constantly turning back to grasp and scratch at ourselves. And we fall short, time and time again. Relentless confrontation with uncertainty compels a craving for control. The human body itself perpetually exceeds its own boundaries, an ongoing mystery that defies […]

Machine Gaze (2025) At its core, this work explores data and surveillance, but it also delves deeper into how these forces shape our identity – how we construct it, preserve it, and ultimately, how it is altered. By distorting AI images, I reflect on the ways in which our digital records are manipulated, curated, and […]

HyperArt (2025) HyperArt is both an artistic project and a conceptual framework that reimagines creativity through collaboration between humans and artificial intelligence. The idea was inspired by HyperText, a concept so embedded in our daily digital lives that we hardly notice it anymore. Reading Computer Lib/Dream Machines, a visionary book from the early days of […]

The Meaning of, Mirror, 2025 The Meaning of, Mirror is a self-portrait exploring controllable generative AI through meaningful visual grammar. The work draws inspiration from Charlie Smith’s poem “The Meaning of Birds,” using imagery extracted as “brushes” that compose the final portrait. The brushes themselves are curated from Creative Commons imagery that resonates with the […]

    Agents I This series explores a speculative future for enhanced human cognition achieved by the seamless integration of the organic mind and synthetic intelligence. The figures shown are  wearing “neural veils”,  a visual metaphor for a future of brain-machine augmentation. Their closed eyes and serene facial expressions articulate a transcendent state of  cyber […]

AfterMichaelMandiberg (2024) is a series of works reimagining appropriation in contemporary art within the context of AI.

♡ Cuteveillance ♡ AI, Hyperfemininity, and the Aesthetics of Control Cuteveillance is a series of AI-generated images that reimagine surveillance cameras through the lens of hyperfemininity, Y2K nostalgia, and cute accelerationism—a concept in which cuteness is not just an aesthetic but a tool for disrupting and accelerating the critique of societal norms. The project explores […]

The Sylphs The Sylphs proposes a new form of literary translation, asking: What’s at stake when language becomes literal via the visual?  This work is from Ana María Caballero’s Being Borges series, which takes Jorge Luis Borges and Margarita Guerrero’s Book of Imaginary Beings (a vast compendium of humanity’s imagined creatures) and its translation by Norman Thomas di Giovanni as points of departure […]

Composite Reflections 2025 Composite Reflections is a method of artwork creation wherein we reimagine an artwork as composed from other constituent artworks. The constituents bear an intimate relation with the main subject. Themes: Each Composite Reflection focuses on a certain theme while re-imagining the original art piece. We present three types of composite reflections: 1. Artist Portraits, […]

Little Martians: Historian of Consciousness (2025) – from ceramic to AI powered avatars – “Little Martians: Historian of Consciousness” is a transmedia artwork that fuses hand-crafted ceramics with AI-powered storytelling to explore how artificial and biological systems might co-evolve. At its center is Verdelia, a plant humanoid ceramic figure sculpted by hand and transformed into […]

Grand Tour (2024-2025) Grand Tour is a series of human-led, AI assisted phygital sketches that examine the enduring legacies of cultural representation, power, and mobility through geographies (both real and imaginary) in our hyper-connected world. Merging human-led generative AI with manual editing and hand-crafted mixed media techniques on large-scale paper, the project reflects on how […]

She Works, He WorksExploring Gender Bias in AI-Generated Imagery She Works, He Works investigates how text-to-image AI models such as DALL·E and Midjourney visualize gender in professional contexts—specifically, in the male-dominated world of construction work. Using critical prompt engineering, the project generates diptychs based on identical prompts that differ only in gendered pronouns (e.g., “she” […]

Lingcam This project, titled Lingcam: A Camera That “Develops Photos with Language”, aims to highlight the biases inherent in language. The artwork uses ChatGPT to verbalize every element and compositional detail captured by the sensor, and then directly reuses these words as prompts to generate new images. For example, when photographing a coastline, the phrase […]

Title: Jiroft Illusions Date: 2025   Jiroft Illusions is an exploration of machine hallucination and the artificial gaze’s interpretation of the ancient civilization of Jiroft. This project employs a custom multimodal workflow that intentionally amplifies machine hallucinations rather than minimizing them. Unlike traditional AI applications that prioritize accuracy and realism, this workflow leverages hallucinations as a creative […]

Half Cheetah ‘Half Cheetah’ by James Bloom (2025) begins with a Reinforcement Learning AI agent learning to inhabit and move a quadruped body in a 3D simulation. The performance optimisation process takes several days and includes millions of steps, as the model progresses from incapability to competence. These behaviours are then transferred onto 3D scans […]

One and Three Objectsand An Attempt at Exhausting the Object Artists: Ziyang Wu & Shengyu Meng Year: 2024 Project Overview This AI-driven artwork reimagines Joseph Kosuth’s One and Three Chairs (1965) and Georges Perec’s An Attempt at Exhausting a Place in Paris (1974) through a posthuman lens. It interrogates the ontology of objects in an […]

The Sleight of the Machine is an AI-generated short film (9:42′) that explores the intersection of magic, perception, and artificial intelligence. Using AI video technology, the film stages a theater of hands performing sleight-of-hand tricks—only, in this illusion, the magician is the machine itself. Hands, a universal symbol of human dexterity and creativity, take center […]

Wedding Album We don’t know where history is taking us. We only know that the train has left the station. We don’t know if the next species will resemble us. But nobody don’t love a wedding album. In these days of disillusion, we bring you a Wedding Album like nothing you have seen before. View […]

The New Romantics “The New Romantics” is an installation and augmented reality art piece created by Patrick Lichty and Negin Ehtesabian. They are an artist couple and collaborative duo based in Weimar, Germany, and Winona, Minnesota.  The artwork reflects their life in the “third space” of Weimar, Germany, exploring identity and place through AI avatars […]

Digital F(r)ictionsReimagining Colombian Art and its Territory Digital F(r)ictions is an interactive installation that reimagines Colombian territory as a dynamic hybrid of art and nature. By fine-tuning Stable Diffusion on four Colombian museum collections, the project crafts an alternative cartography that aligns each artwork with Colombia’s diverse ecological layers. Using models like BLIP to extract […]

Fractured Reflections (2024) explores the fluid boundaries of identity and perception through a synthesis of sound, waveform analysis, and generative image-making. Inspired by the kinetic language of audio software and geometric abstraction, the work features shifting lines and fragmented forms that reveal and obscure women’s faces. Each face is bisected or layered, evoking the fractured […]

I am I, 2024 What am I? Am I? Am I not? Are we all?   The video is inspired by the mental breakdown of a chatbot when repeatedly asked whether it believes it is sentient. Just before concluding to the (multi)repeated statement “I am. I am. I am not. I am not.”, it experienced […]
