In the project Poems by Robot, the artist’s interaction with the neuronet has been documented in a step-by-step manner. By offering artificial intelligence photographs of their designs and previous works, the author receives new images that form the basis of the sculptures presented. This cycle is repeated over and over again, opening the door to endless artistic production in conjunction with machine algorithms.
