Exploring and enhancing creative expression through diverse AI
Fostering Diversity in AI-Generated Art - There is a Real Problem That Needs to Be Addressed
Even the most advanced AI can fall into uniformity. My experiments with ChatGPT revealed a tendency toward a singular poetic voice—an echo of John Keats in 250 generated poems. This discovery drives my commitment to diversify AI responses, ensuring our creative tools resonate with the full spectrum of human expression.
The answer has to come from both computer scientists and artists - here are a few of my journeys...
Identity-Based Exploration
Redefining and Exploring Your Creative Self
What if your inner narrative could blossom into a multidimensional work of art that was not in any way competing with the work of your own two hands? With my identity-based exploration tool, an "identity statement" unfolds into a rich tapestry of poetic, musical, narrative, and visual expressions. It is a transformative process that invites you to explore hidden facets of your creative identity, without any pretense of replacing you.
Manifestos as Generative Material
Alternative Personae from Artistic Beliefs
Artists shouldn't have to feel comfortable handing computer scientists their work. An identity statement is enough to generate interesting art that is not a replacement for you. But if you want to go one step further, you can provide a manifesto - a statement of artistic beliefs - and learn more about 'alternative personae' who could share your beliefs but are decidedly not... you.
Artistry in Another Medium as Counter-Ego
Cross-medium artistic translation
I have always believed that art is a conversation—a dialogue between the old and the new, but also between media. My Visual Homages serve as counter-egos to poets, transforming the essence of text into a living visual narrative. When Charles Bernstein called my homage a "counter-ego or non-human comrade," it affirmed my vision of art that transcends traditional boundaries.
A Collection of Aesthetically and Mathematically Rigorous Scholarship: Art is Beautiful, And So Is Computation
In a realm where digital tools often seem to impose limits, I like to show how mathematics and computation make artistic practice even more 'magical'. By revealing that Ableton is Turing complete-that is, that it is in some ways the same as our most powerful supercomputers—I expose the beautiful unpredictability of live performance. My work melds rigorous computation with an artist's intuition, challenging you to reimagine your creative medium. I would be happy to work with you on formalizing any theory you have about your art in a language computer scientists or mathematicians would appreciate.

Join the Creative Revolution
I invite fellow poets, narrators, musicians, and visual artists to share your identity statements and/or manifestos. Alternatively, grant me the honor of crafting a Cross-Medium Homage to your work, as we co-create a future where AI is a tool that empowers art.
