Arboreal Intuitions, 3D mockup. 2023.
Arboreal Intuitions AGI.
This installation is a speculative artificial general intelligence ecosystem (AGI). Arboreal Intuitions’ existence is determined by my sorrow from the loss of urban forests and a desire for memorialization. The AGI communicates these sentiments through the production of tree growth-ring drawings generated by a StyleGAN2 machine learning model. I trained StyleGAN2 on images of the remaining stumps of elm trees that were lost to Dutch Elm disease in my prairie city.
Arboreal Intuitions will premiere in the fall of 2023 at the Art Gallery of Southwestern Manitoba.
