I, EYE, AND AI

​

The art project "I, Eye, and AI" is conceived as a creative dialogue with artificial neural networks.
AI studies us, and we, in turn, study it, as we must live in a world where its presence will become increasingly palpable.

​Structurally, the project is designed as an infinite sequence of segments following the scheme "image > description > image > description..." exploring the transformation of visual into verbal and vice versa, and how far from the original image AI can diverge using its unpredictable "black box" algorithms. This unpredictability, akin to any creative process, is precisely why I consider AI a co-author and equal partner in my projects.

​The project and its title were inspired by a personal experience. Several years ago, I started having vision problems – the world appeared distorted, prompting medical consultations. Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) became a crucial diagnostic tool, creating highly precise 3D images of my retina, scanning light to reveal microscopic details of the retina's layers and the optic nerve connecting the eye to the brain.

​I requested my doctor's OCT eye images and engaged AI in describing its interpretation of these images. Thus, in collaboration with the neural network, a series of descriptions and images based on them were created.

​This collaborative exploration challenges traditional boundaries between creator and tool, suggesting a new paradigm of artistic creation where technology becomes a sentient, responsive partner.

​

​The "I, Eye, and AI" project includes a video (8′36″ in loop, 6 sequences) that can be continued indefinitely, and a series of images (prints). The video can be displayed either on a separate monitor or as a 360-degree video installation.
