Solipsism  #1

Lead [Pb], AI.

​

"The essence of an existent is no longer a power embedded deep inside it; it is the manifest law governing the succession of its appearances, the principle of the series." (Sartre, Jean-Paul. Being and Nothingness.)

​

All of these sculptures are generated by AI and are not physical objects.

​

The AI system uses a set of adversarial neural networks that constantly learn from an initial dataset of thousands of photographs of sculptures made out of lead, which I created to establish the principle of the series.

​

The final work consists in infinite sculptures, letting Al generate new ones forever.
