Nettrice Gaskins
Artificial Intelligence Artist
"Machine learning seems futuristic, but strange to say, it helps artists like me to rediscover humanity."
-- Nettrice Gaskins
Description: A portrait of Dr. Nettrice Gaskins. The portrait is digitally created based on a photograph. It is multicolored. Nettrice Gaskins is an African American woman with medium dark skin. She smiles with her lips closed. She wears a colorful scarf with an abstract pattern. The back of the banner is blue and has a repeating pattern of various artist's supplies, such as paintbrushes, pencils, paints, etc.
Nettrice Gaskins (born 1970) is a new kind of artist. Computer code is her paintbrush. To make her beautiful and intricate portraits she uses a software program called Deep Dream Generator, which synthesizes multiple existing images, combining them and enhancing their details. Gaskins uses the program to create imagery that humans might never think of.
For FUTURES, she has created portraits of other futurists whose work is represented in the exhibition: people who have thought intensely about tomorrow and how it might be shaped. Look for these portraits throughout.
