Research Log: Entry #2 “It seems the pools are responding to a rhythm, almost like waves themselves. Surely it can’t be coincidence that the organisms are moving in tandem. I think the pools want to make sure I’m watching them. I will, but won’t tell the others. They think the coming full moon is affecting me. Nonsense. But maybe… Hmm. We’ll see. Nothing else to report."
This unique tide pool began with a hand selected computer generated image created from a machine learning model. I trained the model using only photographs of my original abstract paintings which are influenced by science and the sea. I then animated the image using Adobe After Effects.
Each artwork in this collection suggests a view through a microscope of the swirling primordial world of a tide pool, but also is reminiscent of a planet. I juxtapose the smallest building blocks of life against the expansive universe that contains them, while also presenting something ancient through the lens of new technologies.
The “Primitivus” release is the 3rd generation. Each release in this collection will “evolve” over time.
"Each of them in his own tempo and with his own voice discovered and reaffirmed with astonishment the knowledge that all things are one thing and that one thing is all things—plankton, a shimmering phosphorescence on the sea and the spinning planets and an expanding universe, all bound together by the elastic string of time. It is advisable to look from the tide pool to the stars and then back to the tide pool again." John Steinbeck
