Muse Monet
Painter, drawer, and experimental image-maker exploring the edge between human gesture and machine prediction.
In progress...
A collection of pieces where human gesture meets machine prediction, exploring the uncanny valley of creativity.
My practice has always been rooted in gesture and the physical act of making. Working with AI was never about replacement, but finding out what happens when something that does not think or feel is asked to continue a mark that came from a body that does.
The method I keep returning to is the exquisite corpse. This is a Surrealist technique for letting the unconscious bleed between collaborators. Here, I replace the collaborator with a machine focusing only on pattern and prediction, challenging the recreation of humanness and emotion in the digital space.
The human intervention is where the feeling returns. My research into the uncanny valley started because AI generated figures often register as hollow absences. Through direct manipulation and response, I give the machine's continuation its final and necessary emotional weight.
The Exquisite Corpse
Inquiry & Methodology (tbd)
01
AI Iteration & Human Gesture
Developing methods that blend physical ink drawings with algorithmic prediction. My work focuses on the exquisite corpse technique. This is where the machine continues a mark initiated by the human hand.
02
The Uncanny Valley
Extensive research into the biological mechanisms that trigger threat responses when viewing AI-generated figures. I explore the emotional hollowness of machine output and how iterative human intervention reclaims essential meaning.
03
Technical Synthesis
Proficiency across traditional fine arts. Specializing in large-scale ink and oil painting that are integrated with machine learning workflows. My practice utilizes technical precision to bridge the gap between human intuition and pattern prediction.
