Where do you locate yourself in relation to the systems you work with?

My practice currently sits between tool-use and tool-questioning. I work with artificial intelligence not as a neutral instrument, but as a layered system shaped by infrastructures, defaults, and historical assumptions. From this position, I remain attentive to the frictions between authorship and automation, intention and emergence. I occupy a space of partial control—close enough to intervene, distant enough to observe how systems behave beyond my directives.

Where are you heading, and what is pulling you there?

I am moving along a vector that follows experimentation while resisting optimization. Rather than pursuing efficiency or resolution, my work is guided by moments of instability, ambiguity, and drift. I am drawn to processes where direction is continually recalibrated—where feedback, error, and constraint redirect the work. This vector is influenced by both technical affordances and cultural tensions surrounding AI, especially questions of agency, visibility, and mediation.

How would you describe the space your practice is currently unfolding in?

The space of my practice is hybrid and elastic, formed at the intersection of computational systems, visual language, and conceptual inquiry. My work inhabits this space by testing its boundaries—stretching interfaces, deforming expectations, and reconfiguring how meaning is produced through algorithmic processes. Rather than occupying a fixed territory, the practice reshapes the space it enters, leaving traces of negotiation between human intent and machine structure.

AI Art experience

AI allows me to express my artistic spirit, which might otherwise be limited by my inability to draw or paint. It enables me to visualize any concept I imagine and share it with like-minded individuals. Additionally, AI helps me expand my creative vision, exploring environments I've never experienced before.

Personal experience

It's been years spent in distress, burnt out, uncertainty about future and deep longing for simpler times while being very much aware of the past's negatives, so my personal experience deeply resonates with the theme I created. I’m also very particular about the final visuals and details, so if I don’t get the style I want in the first couple of generations, I don’t mind rerunning the same prompt for another three days straight.

Unexpected thought

It led me to blend unconventional styles, such as the yet 'undiscovered' biomechanical Gigeresque nouveau, or avant-garde gothic brutalism.

Description

The 'Teletext Sculpture' is part of a broader theme I've been working on and haven’t previously released. It is much more experimental than my primary theme, "Cyberpunk 1977," and revolves around the concept of bringing the "hearth" of home outside. Its essence lies primarily in projecting various TV graphics onto the surrounding environment, along with a Mondrian scheme (especially yellow and blue in this case) to evoke progression and energy, while at the same time paying homage to Czechoslovakia and the 70s era in general.

Process

Reflecting on the nearly two years I’ve spent with AI art, I have no regrets about the time invested. As I delve deeper into these images, I increasingly feel as if I'm visiting an alternative reality—or time-traveling to the past. It's important to note that I wouldn’t have reached this point or discovered my interest in these themes without the extensive brainstorming, experimenting, and generating I've done along the way. One thing that deeply affected me was amateur photography (IG @lounge_box), which taught me how to maintain composition and play with light.

Tools

I use only Midjourney and Photoshop Express/Google Photos to adjust the shadows as I´m extremely limited by time. Please feel free to upscale it. I tried, but unfortunately, it partially removed some noise from the image and made it look too plastic.
