Deconstructing my own artistic process and teaching it to painting robots is my attempt at a better understanding of myself.

When I began with my first machines fifteen years ago, they were only capable of simple tasks, like connecting dots and painting by numbers. My most recent robots, however, use deep learning neural networks, artificial intelligence, feedback loops and computational creativity to make a surprising amount of independent aesthetic decisions.  

My machines have grown beyond being simple assistants and are now effectively augmenting my own creativity, as well as having creativity of their own. They have become a generative AI art system so sophisticated, that it has forced me to consider the possibility that all art is generative.

The gallery contains some of our recent work together and the a.i. art blog has posts from as far back as twelve years ago explaining our journey. Also have a look at the process page for a brief description of our most recent creative A.I. algorithm.
