I've been living on the Aegean coast for the past few years, and hiking around these mountains has opened my eyes. Did you know that FOOD LITERALLY GROWS ON TREES!? Olives, figs, pomegranates, grapes, berries, walnuts, almonds, and so much more. And I don't mean farmed, but scattered across the mountain tops and plateaus, in the WILD, FREE!

DEEPER MEDITATIONS is a series of self-reflective, visual-stream-of-consciousness dump self-portraits; explorations into the minds of an artificial, and a biological, neural network.

Continuing on from my "Journey through the layers of the mind" (2015), "Learning to See" (2017-) and "Deep Meditations" series (2018-); continuing investigations into Deep Visual Instruments for Latent Story-telling - Deep Learning models as an artistic medium for new modes of performative, creative expression with meaningful human control over narrative.
