Machinic Situatedness is a series of artworks that uses artificial intelligence (A.I) to explore the subject 'cultural situatedness' and influences in the genre of AI art. These works are created by an A.I drawing inspiration from Budhhist painting styles to create an abstract, dream like output using GANs. This series asks the questions- what is an AI machine’s cultural underpinning and how can we broaden its scope? These draw a lot of reference from Nam June Paik's TV Buddha work, here alluding to the cycles of transcendence which we undergo as a species, continuous cycles of trying to become something more than ourselves, which we are now channeling through the evolving role of AI in our lives and AI itself is by learning more from us.
