NERO COSMOS
Artsted Catalogue, 2023 Edition.
Nero Cosmos is an artist, who invites the viewer to see
the world through the eyes of a machine. His work focuses
on ideas of perception and transformation through
Artificial Intelligence and allows him to explore the reciprocal
relationship between humans and machines. Interested
in how consciousness changes in digital space
and affects daily life, Nero Cosmos uses data collection,
machine learning techniques and algorithms through
Generative Adversarial Networks to create images and
videos in a constant state of metamorphosis. Inspired by
the aesthetics of life forms and solid structures reflected
in the digital realm, his artwork combines a large quantity
of image and video-based sources.
Due to the training of the Generative Adversarial Networks
model, the artist loses temporarily control as the algorithm
takes over the creative process. The machine and
the artist are intentionally forced to collaborate and exist
in constant symbiosis. Consequently, the unpredictability
of artificial intelligence generates results influenced
by technology and brain-constructed reality, breaking
the viewer’s perception into a multitude of possibilities.
The more images involved, the more spontaneous the
results. Through visualizations of these outcomes, Nero
Cosmos creates work that mediates between a real and
an abstract world, seemingly creating threads of logical
patterning in the midst of random and chance.
