AI Bots - AI Bot Environments

Description: This 'Dark Garden' image reflects on climate change and increased flooding. AI ’Bots' form into bubbles as observers of the environment.
This image is about Climate Change and Flooding. As I combine nature with technology I use ideas about Nanobots as new life forms who observe in the outdoor landscapes I photograph. Therefore, I imagine these Bots to be artificially intelligent – AI beings that camouflage themselves to blend in. As a result, the mysterious Bots reference a world inside and outside of the frame of the image. The Bots are technological innovation that is a constructive influence on the future.
I find unique digital results with electronic tools. Consequently, I combine the methods of painting, drawing, printmaking and analogue photography. I find the ‘hand’ of digital is involved the same way as every other art process. Furthermore, the Bots change the dimensional perception of the space adding a 3-D aspect. They are an intervention in the photograph. Finally, these Bots range from being quite unique to variations of each other and exact copies.
I am used to thinking, how can I make an idea into an image. I like to see the image as a baroque or chaotic space. In this space the Bots and landscapes do not confront each other, but rather us, the viewer. Finally, I accentuate the feeling of suspension and warning by adding deep shadows and dark spaces.
