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

We are used to wanting full control over our tools. We want to master them, understand them completely and direct every outcome. But these systems work differently. With models like this, total control is not really possible, and trying to force it often leads to predictable results. Because of that, I position myself beside the system, not above it. I accept that part of the process has to remain open. I give direction, I set boundaries, but I also leave space for the tool to surprise me. Again and again. That freedom is essential for my work. Without it, the process becomes repetition instead of exploration.

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

I’m heading toward work that feels more honest and less polished. I’m pulled by curiosity and by a certain discomfort with repetition. I want to reach places where images don’t immediately explain themselves, where they slow people down instead of impressing them.

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

My practice lives in an in between space. Between control and letting go. Between photography and something that no longer wants to be photography. It’s a space of testing, failing, refining and observing. Nothing final, nothing fixed. Just ongoing exploration.

Artist Statement

My statement of truth I work with intelligent systems because they feel strange to me. They challenge me. They make me test my own instincts—and adjust them. AI is not just a tool for me. It’s a mirror. It shows my speed, my jumps, my impatience. It reveals what I control, and what simply flows out of me without me knowing. My art tries to capture this: The mix of control and letting go, of my personal style and what the machine creates. What shapes me? Doubts, contradictions, curiosity. What is my system? An inner compass that looks for chaos because I hope to find clarity there. I choose AI not because it’s fast or easy. I choose it because it pushes back. Because it twists my ideas, breaks them, changes them. And in that space—between what I plan and what the machine gives me—something real can appear. My artistic truth? I want to surprise myself. I want my work to ask questions that even make me unsure. I want my images to breathe, my texts to stumble, my ideas to sometimes fail. Because I believe: What looks like a mistake today might be the start of something truly new tomorrow. And this archive we’re building is maybe just a quiet collection of people trying to find meaning in a world full of automatic outputs.

AI Art experience

I could prompt around the clock every single day, as I have many ideas started in my channels that could lead to great visuals. It’s incredible that, even with software, you don’t always know what the final outcome will be—much like creating a traditional artwork. The possibilities are much greater, and knowing that so much is possible makes it even more challenging. I am completely convinced that understanding the tools allows you to achieve even more, making the work even better. Even though it’s AI, it’s still the human who gives the commands (the prompting) to the machine, directing it on what to create.

Personal experience

On one hand, it’s incredible to incorporate AI into the process, but on the other hand, the results are often not immediately satisfying. However, with time and patience, you get better at it. That’s the biggest problem—just because it’s AI, many people assume good results will come quickly, which is simply not the case. It’s especially difficult to determine what constitutes art in this context. This is a new kind of art, which makes me wonder who ultimately decides how good something is. With time, you develop an intuition and come up with ideas that might even set a new standard, but expecting quick results is a major misconception. The hardest part, for example, is knowing when to stop prompting and when to save the images you’ve created. You could keep prompting endlessly—it never truly ends. That’s why curating, selecting, and combining the right images is so crucial.

Unexpected thought

Nowadays, it’s no longer about not being able to do something, like it was before the age of AI. In the past, some ideas were too complex, too expensive, or had too many moving parts to be realized, which often led to a quick "not feasible" conclusion. But now, almost nothing is impossible. I notice it myself—when I have an idea, I no longer immediately dismiss it. Instead, I take a moment to research. I have an ideas folder that I’ve been adding to for years—ideas that were too costly or too specialized to be created at the time. Now, I can prompt those ideas, and if I had enough time, I could realize all of them. Not just visual ideas, but also app ideas, business ideas. Today, everyone has an AI coach or assistant in their pocket, and there’s no one to dismiss your ideas or crush your dreams—something people are, unfortunately, quite good at. That’s why you shouldn’t always share your happiness, as people have a tendency to destroy it. But with AI, you have the power to create without those limitations.

Prove you are human

I had heard and read quite a lot on social media about submitting images to AI art magazines, but it wasn't until the evening of October 20th that I actually started uploading my images, and of course, also began prompting new ones. while i worte this here in Switzerland it is 6 o`clock in the evening. #thuglife

Description

The series addresses the anonymity and interchangeability of the individual in an increasingly digitalized world. The blurred figures without recognizable features or identity symbolize the loss of personal uniqueness and illustrate how people in modern society are often perceived as interchangeable. The image series highlights the challenges and risks of identity loss in the digital age. Interestingly, it was not initially apparent that the creative process would lead to such extraordinary visuals. Yet it is precisely in this process that the power of art lies – the unexpected emergence of impressive images that provoke thought and convey the message on a deeper, emotional level. Actually i wanted to submit the hole series of that, but there was only allowed one, because in a series this makes more sense.

Process

The challenge I set for myself from the very beginning was to counteract the underlying algorithm of Midjourney. This meant it was quite laborious to prompt an image in such a way as to create this specific type of blur or style. Creating high-quality portraits of people is no longer an issue—anyone who has been prompting for a while knows how to quickly craft such a prompt. However, when it comes to artworks like these, which are meant to carry a deeper message and exhibit a distinct style, the results are born out of countless prompt combinations and extensive token testing. Various keywords help to achieve the desired outcome, and once the right prompt is found, that’s when the real creative journey begins.

Tools

For this series i only used Midjourney and nothing else, so prompt crafting was my challenge and that just to train prompting.
