TRAIN YOURSELF


"TRAIN YOURSELF" is an exhibition showcasing design research from the 2023-2024 Schidlowski Emerging Faculty Fellowship at the College of Architecture and Environmental Design. This project examines the interplay between physical and digital realities in the era of artificial intelligence. Central to our investigation, A.I. was instrumentalized to design the artifacts exhibited in the Armstrong Gallery.

We trained our A.I. model with hundreds of images, (both real and fictitious), depicting figural study models crafted from scrap wood and nails. The images of these models allowed us to produce a series of A.I.-generated animations, which were converted into three-dimensional form using medical imaging software.

The artifacts presented in the gallery are conceptualized as a series of assemblies, each consisting of structural, substructural, and ornamental layers. This exhibition celebrates the compression of digital and physical materiality in forming novel aesthetic outcomes in the post-digital age, as well as challenging our perception of images and objects produced using artificial intelligence.
