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

I work at the intersection of artificial intelligence, landscape, the universe, and human origins. I use AI as a way of looking into deep time and into ourselves, using abstraction to approach moments where matter, memory, and perception first intertwined. My position sits between past and present, where technology becomes a quiet lens through which traces of origin can reappear.

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

My practice moves toward collapsing distances between past, present, and future. I am drawn to the idea that origins are not fixed points, but ongoing presences that continue to shape how we see and exist. AI guides this direction as a form of eye of time, allowing abstraction to act as a bridge between ancestral gestures and contemporary digital forms.

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

My work unfolds in a space where natural landscapes, digital systems, and human memory overlap. It exists between the physical and the virtual, where images become a way of sensing time rather than describing it. This space is both speculative and grounded, shaped by the continuous dialogue between technology and human consciousness.

Description

In a desert of stardust and silence, AI-born monoliths rise, photograms lost in the sand, lost in time. Echoes of the past, glimpses of the future. Between myth and matter. Are these AI able to see what we cannot see?. The archeology of the unknown is what inevitably unites us, somewhere, there is an echo outside of time; in the infinite landscape of the desert the impossible becomes possible. It is the hidden story of our origin, the sculptural combination of natural, ancestral and universal elements, in a form of journey to connect us with creation. These astral structures look as if they were created by aliens or by humans in another time. A legend on the top of a mountain, a cosmic energy, a portal; these monoliths are a mystery written on our conscience. They appear and disappear; between sand, between stardust, between water, ice and clouds, between the natural and the supernatural, between what we know and what we do not know; these impossible sculptures emerge as a testimony of our deep connection with the cosmos, as part of history and at the same time of the future, as if they were part of this planet or some distant place in the universe. A constant search; these images created with artificial intelligence are a reminder to search for lost knowledge, look up, aspire to the impossible, immerse yourself in the unknown and walk paths towards the light. The past is the future.

Process

Can AI extend human perception beyond biological limits of vision, memory, and time? Can AI reshape how we imagine what is yet to come? What lies buried within landscape, material, and collective memory? Is the past a fixed record, or an active presence embedded in consciousness? Can AI and abstraction reveal hidden forms of knowledge once expressed through myth and early culture? Is artistic creation an act of invention, or a reactivation of latent memory? These questions guide how I create and interact with AI models each day. Artificial intelligence becomes an eye of time, intertwining cosmic memory with human consciousness.

Tools

This work was created using Stable Diffusion 2.1, an early model released in December 2022 and now deprecated. The images were then refined through post-production, adjusting tone, contrast, light, and selected details to clarify the final composition.
