Artist after Artist was digitally composed by the artist using low-resolution fragments of well-known classical artworks*, randomly sourced through Google Image Search. Guided by intuition, personal memory, and her current state of mind, she reassembled these disparate elements into a new visual narrative—one that echoes both art history and the self.

Algorithm after Artist after Artists is one among infinite possible reimaginings of the original work, generated through AI-driven processes. Just as Shakespeare’s character in The Tempest undergoes transformation by the sea, Artist After Artists experiences a shift through the AI process in AaA. The image does not fade—it becomes “rich and strange.” AI enters as a new participant in the evolving flow of creation. Yet whether AI is merely a tool, or the last creator, remains an open and urgent question—one that spans from legal definitions of authorship to the power to shape aesthetic and cultural directions, and ultimately, the course of history.
In Artist After Artists and its AI-generated counterpart Algorithm After Artist After Artists, the work points to a dialogue across time, technology, and authorship.
*Google DeepDream is an early AI image-processing algorithm that enhances and hallucinates patterns, transforming images into surreal, dreamlike compositions.

By recomposing fragments of classical paintings into a new visual field, the artist asks: What does it mean to create after centuries of image-making? Where does authorship reside when intuition meets digital randomness? And how does the machine’s dream reflect our own layered memory of art history?
Through this interplay of selection, erosion, and transformation—first by the artist’s hand, then by digital tools, and later by algorithmic processes and AI—the pieces question originality, cultural memory, and the blurred boundaries between creation and curation. In a landscape of endless reproduction, perhaps the act of choosing—of feeling—remains the most radical gesture.
“Nothing of him that doth fade
But doth suffer a sea-change
Into something rich and strange.”
— William Shakespeare, The Tempest (1611–12)
