In a time when the machines we built start to look more and more like us, my work is centered around the question of whether humans are modeling artificial intelligences after their own minds, or in fact, are we realizing our brains are much more like machines than we ever thought? By forcing neural networks to interpret artistic expressions and cultural icons and exploring their output's effect on viewers, I hope to get a closer understanding of the human consciousness. | artist: Bas Uterwijk (@ganbrood)| medium: PNG, 6000x8000 pixels | original creation date: September 19, 2021
