MIND THE MACHINE

In a collaboration between artist Shantell Martin and computational neuroscientist Sarah Schwettmann, a neural network was trained on 400 of Martin's original drawings to learn a model of her characteristic style and process. The algorithm then created a series of new drawings using a robotic plotter in this exhibit at OPEN Gallery – drawings that Martin might have made, but hadn't yet.
