In this new series, Sebastian Riemer explores the creation of images through artificial intelligence by revealing the algorithms behind these abstract works. By working with rudimentary algorithms, he transforms initially narrative images into purely aesthetic compositions, disrupting the usual visual continuity. His works highlight the breaks in visual transmission, exposing the internal workings of image technologies. Riemer thus questions the boundary between machine and artist, and the very notion of authorship in the context of AI. He uses simple computer tools, repurposed from their intended use, to interrogate current technologies without resorting to AI itself.
