lands beyond

A collaboration between man and machine. This series of works consist of a selection of endless variations of computer-generated landscapes. The images are generated using artificial intelligence, a computer model that was trained on a database that consists of a personal archive, including photos taken in remote mountainous regions and past work. The process is also called machine learning, or deep learning. After travelling to a new location, the computer model is updated with new photos. The model is able to generate new images based on its updates and generates an ever further compressing memory of the mountains. The collaboration raises questions regarding imagination and observation, and provides a glimpse of possibilities in regards to unexplored landscapes we might encounter, wherever the future may take us.
