    Fourth Order Eidolons

    AI slop is proliferating on social media at an alarming rate. Images are generated and disseminated with political agendas, particularly in right-wing spheres. These AI-generated images often depict soldiers, sad […] Read more

  • Fractured Reflections

    Fractured Reflections

    A new experimental work exploring how generative AI systems caption and create new content based on limited data. In this caseI I automatically pixelate the images the AI receives. It […] Read more

  • Memento Mori

    Memento Mori

    In ‘Memento Mori,’ I explore the consequences of our increasing reliance on AI and technology, particularly in the context of environmental degradation. By capturing human presence and obscuring them through […] Read more

  • Self_Portrait

    Self_Portrait

    Self_Portrait is an exploration of gender and AI. Through interconnected AI systems, we delve into the gendered connotations of certain words, particularly those related to personality traits. AI system interconnectivity […] Read more

  • Gender Tapestry

    Gender Tapestry

    in Gender Tapestry, J. Rosenbaum investigates the fascinating connections between facial recognition, gender classification, and color perception. Similar to how different computer monitors present colors in varying ways, J posits that individuals perceive and experience gender uniquely. They explore the idea that our life experiences, cultural influences, and personal perspectives shape our understanding of gender. Read more

  • Frankenstein’s Telephone

    Frankenstein’s Telephone

    Frankenstein’s Telephone’ is a conceptual artwork created using artificial intelligence to examine how computer vision expresses gender classifications. Each of the images in the sequence  are snapshots of that document how various neural networks have generated an image based on a prompt phrase Read more

  • Set in Stone

    Set in Stone

    Set in Stone is an ongoing artistic project resulting from my inquiries into training bias out of image generation algorithms. I used a discrete 3D rendered dataset, firstly of masculine marble faces, then adding in feminine marble faces, and finally faces that break out of the binary mold by exploring color and diverse hairstyles. The… Read more

  • Uncanny Valley

    Uncanny Valley

    Picture a face manipulated in Snapchat, adorned with a computer-generated, melty mask—set against an artful background. My fascination with Snapchat led me to scrape images from Instagram, curious about what a neural network could create. The Generative Adversarial Network, instead of blending Augmented Reality components into nightmarish forms, astoundingly detected commonalities and erased these components… Read more

  • Hidden Worlds

    Hidden Worlds

    Hidden Worlds uses Artificial Intelligence and Augmented Reality to examine gender through the lens of computer vision. These works use a Generative Adversarial Network trained on Greek and Roman statuary to generate its own which I interpret in my own way. I use another AI to write descriptive content for each work and generated music… Read more

  • [un]Natural

    [un]Natural

    A mixed media exploration of Naiads, Dryads and Nereids from Greek and Roman mythology using augmented Reality, 3D modeling and neural networks to create modern interpretations of classical creatures of nature. Using the highly technological with the highly natural invites discussion about how at odds we are to the natural world and how we might… Read more
