Distinction: An artistic series about humans and machines

Machines excel at perfect replication. Humans, on the other hand, introduce subtle imperfections into their work, a hallmark of our very nature. This inherent inaccuracy stems from various factors: our physiological tremors, shifts in posture, and even fluctuations in our mood or focus. The repetitive nature of creating patterns, like drawing countless lines or dots, can also lead to physical fatigue and strain, further impacting precision. Machines, of course, remain unaffected by these human limitations.

My artistic process leverages this human imprecision. By intentionally repeating patterns – hundreds of lines, thousands of dots – I allow for the accumulation of minute deviations. These deviations, in turn, generate unique graphic variations that express our shared humanity. The resulting shapes and gradations emerge organically from the process, independent of any deliberate artistic choices. They showcase a fundamental difference between humans and machines, highlighting the beauty and significance of our inherent imperfections in a world increasingly dominated by automation and artificial intelligence.
