Curators are high on the new shows at Bell Projects and Dateline.
We're in the midst of our spring campaign, and we have until June 7 to raise $12,000. This money directly supports the journalismproduces and helps keep our work freely accessible for all, because not everyone can afford to pay for news. If you value our work, please make a contribution today to help us reach our goal."Science-informed art" stars in two exhibits opening on First Friday: one focusing on high-concentration cannabis and the other on the magic of mushrooms.
"I definitely thought of the diverse array of mushrooms," the digital artist says."All the ways fungus and mushrooms exist in the world, the different ways that humans interface with them — whether as food, or an intoxicating substance, or all of the bio remediation people are doing with mushrooms." "It's much more colorful. They're all rainbowy. They're kind of melting. They're kind of bulbous," Phillips says."I think they suggest interesting things about mushroom root networks — those mycorrhizae. Some of them look like they have spores drifting from them."
Although he has been making art for over 25 years, Phillips has been refining his work with GANs for six years, and some of his original research is in reverse image searching. He used a text-to-image GAN for this show, characterizing it as another digital art tool."My relationship to the GANs is like a poetic visual synthesizer for producing improvisatory material to collage with," he explains.
