STIGMERG, 2023
3D generated sculptures
STIGMERG is a digital simulation that investigates the mechanisms of self-organization through a termite-inspired AI genetic algorithm. The resulting digital sculptures depict 3D nests constructed by digital AI agents, with the movement paths of each agent represented in a web of lines and patterns. The artwork examines the role of systems and structures in shaping collective coordination, inviting the viewer to consider the potential implications of self-organization on a larger scale.

EPOCH presents, XENOSPACE, a ground-breaking and experimental virtual exhibition that features seven artists exploring the collaborative boundaries between AI and machine learning within their creative processes.
The title “XENOSPACE” alludes to an unusual or unfamiliar environment. EPOCH has processed 360 equirectangular panoramas through Stable Diffusion, generating the subsequent AI-assisted environments that serve as the backdrop for the artworks.
XENOSPACE responds to a significant moment in the field, as it reflects on the growing relationship between humans and machines and the impact of AI on creative expression. The exhibition serves as a benchmark, showcasing the expansive collaborative potential of AI and machine learning in contemporary art practices and exhibition building. – chatGPT
