"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.
The concept is site-specific and features a projection of ever-changing sculptures generated by AI on the sides. In the middle, the raw metal from the physical dataset used to create the initial AI training is displayed.
The physical sculptures made out of lead used for the initial AI training:
The creation/digitalization/destruction process of the physical sculptures:
