1/ When we "Infer" we conclude from evidence and reasoning. Inference is a process that as humans living with constant change and imperfect information, we all know too well. Do machines infer? Does AI infer? https://i.imgur.com/iSPCkTt.png

2/ "Inferences" is a close study of a narrow set of text-prompts used to create images resembling otherworldly, intimate environments. The images, "Inferences", also have a visual association to our inner-workings: the brain. https://i.imgur.com/3dPQKbz.png

3/ Similarly to our minds, the images vary by nature and nurture: the ai models and an artists' inputs. Here, "Inferences" were created using original 1/1 art by Wasabi, further transformed by AI like our brains infer by transforming information. https://i.imgur.com/TN030ZB.png

4/ So Why Inferences? As an artist I'm fascinated by how we, humans (particularly our minds and spirits), thrive alongside technology that evolves at an accelerating rate while our own biology follows a significantly slower evolutionary timeline.

5/ I am also optimistic about technology (AI) & our ability to learn and adapt. This optimism and exploratory nature is represented by a bold use of color, and winding forms that serve as literal & metaphorical representations of this journey.

6/ The winding forms resemble our mind (our most intimate selves), and something beyond the self: a journey of adaptation we face as a human collective. Neither is simple. "Inferences" reflects this complexity (and humanity) through overlapping forms & soft organic textures. https://i.imgur.com/bKDhEXI.png

7/ Emotionally, "Inferences" is also an expression of an ongoing personal journey: one of infinite possibilities, choices, and the absurdity of existence itself. 'Untamed Roads' & 'Unknown Women' are other collections by Wasabi that touch upon similar themes. https://i.imgur.com/2a3f99D.png

8/ I am inspired daily by the literature I read, personal reflection, and of course, Art. I've admired and collected #generativeart throughout my life: How should we define it today? Is pure AI art, generative art? Aren't GANs also just algorithms and code, written by humans? https://i.imgur.com/qOLe6lI.png

9/ Particularity and specificity around language and definitions also inspire me deeply. It is why I'm drawn to working with AI: I've finally found a tool that allows me to harness my love for language and express its breadth in the way I love best, visually. https://i.imgur.com/PcMTsNK.png

10/ What's next? I hope that "Inferences" invites you to meditate for a moment on our existence alongside a powerful new technology, while remembering that it was created by humans, for humans. https://i.imgur.com/Y1UomNs.png

Thank you for sharing the inspiration for the art. The first one you shared earlier this week reminded me of stained glass. Feels kind of right for the inspiration. Something exciting and beautiful that could also be sharp and fragile and where you can’t quite see through to the other side.
