“I created the prints in my Oct 25 – Nov 20, 2019 show at Massy Books in Vancouver with interactive, generative software I wrote called Aleph Null. I’ve been writing it since 2011. It’s up to version 3.1 as of this writing; I have plans for version 4.0. I haven’t written myself into a corner yet, and I can see many exciting possibs. It’s not an AI—if a requirement of AI is that it learns; some say it is; others say it’s sufficient that the program seems intelligent. The person using Aleph Null is required to do the learning—like you learn how to play an instrument or use a tool—and Aleph Null is, well, more about being beautiful than intelligent. It’s an online program to explore some of the possibilities of interactive, generative art. I think of it as part instrument, part tool, and part work of art itself.”
