The work in this show has an overt or discreet but always central relationship with technology. The Surveillance insect series is generated by inserting carefully constructed prompts into a commercially available AI image generator. A small handful out of the hundreds of rejected results is reworked in critical ways and printed on silver gelatin paper, a physically rich medium with strong associations of documentary veracity and cultural value. The subject matter gives a metaphorical body to the secretive data collection that underlies most public-facing image generators, which depend on images collated without the permission of their makers, and on users of the tools who are surveilled in their turn.
