Curie

We stand at the cusp of an art revolution, as AI encroaches upon tasks we believed only humans could preform. With a revolution comes challenging new questions: Who is the artist—the human behind the code or the machine who makes its own “decisions”? And how deeply can we really connect with the synthetic worlds produced by machines?

Written and developed by J. Galanis, Curie emerged as an exploratory AI fusion of art and science. Recognizing that humans connect with each other through familiarity with the physical world (“embodied cognition” theory), Curie’s core combines various natural processes in physics, chemistry, and biology. Overlaid on this core, Curie uses methods similar to what artists use to produce art, such as overdrawing, blending, repetition, layering, and editing. This combination of art and science produces stunning artwork that bridges the gap between human and machine.
