Untitled (USB Pickles) Collage

As you begin to realize how we are living in a rapidly transitional time, where every physical object – including humans – are automatically converted into data-driven analytics, and more actions that once were executed by human decision making have been conveniently handed over to AI; where any process can easily be transmuted by an algorithm, allowing even what was once an entirely human process of aesthetics to be performed by computer, what happens to the act of painting? Given the construct of fallible institutional paradigms such as art school, investing in an MFA to see inadequate ROI for a multitude of people who have found themselves in debt to student loans, and immersing themselves in a system designed to be embedded inside the status quo, why not make a conscious effort to find a new level of artistic consciousness? After exploring certain themes in oil painting, this is the first of a new body of work, where I am starting to abandon traditional painting per se, to mirror and celebrate this new era informed by zeros and ones, to the point where you will start to see contemporary art taken to it’s logical conclusion.
