I showed my work at the Lux AI Summit as one of four artists working with generative AI. I can’t overstate how honored I am to have been part of it.
The Summit’s theme was AI as canvas: machines treated as a creative medium for enhancing artistic vision.
I presented REVERIE, a collection of three artworks, each a unique piece, representing a moment of contemplation on a different island: Oʻahu, Sicily, and Vieques. I explored whether diffusion models could turn emotionally charged memories into something visible.
Behind the scenes, exhibitions test your limits in ways the studio doesn’t. Making the work is only part of the job. The rest is the whole contour of logistics. I had tried to perfect every detail so the art could speak, and on the morning of October 22, the screens displaying the digital pieces weren’t at the resolution I intended. It got fixed because of the production crew, and because of Gian and Federico, who have supported me through these months. My practice is collaborative because AI serves as my creative partner, but first and foremost it’s people who make my work possible.
Two days later came my first solo show, in Williamsburg. I wanted the evening to be a pretext for beauty, a way to bring together different people connected by invisible affinities. Thanks to the same technology that often isolates us, I watched people linger with my pieces, ask questions, and talk to one another.
I’m also sharing the complete collections of liminality and eidetic images for the first time.
I read every reply.
