In 2015, I began my journey in co-creation. It took two years to meticulously scan more than 20 yearsâ worth of my drawings into a system I developed to train a recurrent neural network. The neural network drives the movements of D.O.U.G., short for Drawing Operations Unit: Generation 2, a robot I built to draw with me. We made our debut in 2017. Today, Iâm continuing to explore emerging technology â biosensors, computer vision, virtual reality, and custom machines.
In the years since the Covid-19 pandemic, I've seen colleagues close their artistic practices out of disillusionment or pragmatism, often a combination of both. Yet, because of the proliferation of the digital art market of nonfungible tokens, cryptocurrency and generative artificial intelligence systems â technology that can produce images â I've seen the igniting of a new generation of digital artists, and witnessed new studios emerge and flourish.
