Man, Machine, A.I.

In Man, Machine, AI I explore the relationship between the three in creating an artwork. As a printmaker we are already accustomed to using machines to help us print an image, however in this project I go not one step further but two steps further. Instead of designing an image by drawing, transferring it to the wood plate, start to cut it and then use a machine to print the final image I decided to start out with an AI which helps me sketch and design the beginnings of my artworks, which are then moved to Photoshop where I make digital collages of the image. To eventually be sent to a lasercutting machine which engraves the image for me. To make sure I retain the human element in this project I try to guide all the processes as much as possible. Causing accidents or carefully manipulating the inking process to create an artwork that always has the charm of human creation.
