Thou O Brother by Tito Victoriano

"'Thou O Brother' is a digital image."

Gold 3D Brushstrokes by Jeffrey A Mendenhall

"An abstract digital painting using some metal colors in Rebelle 7."

/imagine a human head by Kirstin Hendley

"This piece explores the intersection of artificial intelligence and human craftsmanship through wood inlay. I began with a Midjourney AI prompt, 'imagine a human hand', to create possible designs. I was drawn to this particular image because, at first glance, it appears to be an ordinary hand, but something feels subtly unexpected. This small anomaly invites the viewer to look closer and question their assumptions about what they see.

I chose a human hand as my subject because, when evaluating artwork, my instinct is to check the hands—one of the telltale signs of AI-generated images. By translating an AI-generated concept into a physical wood inlay piece, I highlight the interplay between digital creativity and handmade craftsmanship. Each piece of wood was carefully selected for its natural grain and color, bringing an organic element to a design born in the digital realm.

This work reflects on the evolving relationship between AI and human artistry, exploring how both can contribute to creativity in unique ways."

Interludes 205 and 207 by Evan Brown

"This digital composite image was created using a blend of AI-generated, web-sourced, and hand-drawn elements, carefully layered and composed on a mobile phone with image editing tools."

A New Generation by Milli Morales

"As generations advance in technology, artificial intelligence becomes a more common tool in the world. AI inspires me to push the boundaries of my realistic portrait art by providing endless references, insights into lighting techniques, and advanced tools that enhance my creative process. Studying AI-generated portraits has deepened my understanding of detail, texture, and composition, motivating me to refine my work. In my recent piece, I focused on mimicking natural lighting, as light is essential in bringing depth, mood, and life into an artwork. By carefully observing how AI replicates light, I experimented with soft shadows and highlights to create a more dynamic, lifelike affect, making my portrait feel vivid and emotionally engaging."

Cliché Though? by Lillian Wilkie-Jones

"A bronze crown, with a muriatic acid atmospheric patina. An assemblage of plant and crustacean, with the dissonance of materials from oak helicopter seeds to crab claws unified in wax then bronze. Making something ephemeral into a permanent object."

Junkmail by Cassandra Liuzzo

"Security envelopes are stitched with machine embroidered phrases pulled from my e-mail Junk folder, in my mixed-media installation 'Junkmail.' At face value, these phrases (e.g. 'We have been trying to reach you. Your great steaks is waiting!') are absurd and humorous, but their purpose is sinister: to steal data, money, and identity. In this work, spam becomes'found poetry,' and envelopes, displayed on the wall in a haphazard overlapping array, fill the viewer’s field of vision creating a sense of overwhelm much like an overflowing inbox. Security envelopes are rapidly becoming a piece of paper ephemera going the way of ticker tape and telegrams. In the age of 'going paperless' to keep physical mail out of the landfill, when the digital world runs on fossil fuels, we must ask the question: how much energy is used to store and transport e-Junk?"

A Table Set for Pleasure by Allen Hirsh

"A charcuterie board at Links Bridge Vineyard in Thurmont, Maryland provided the input image for this mathematically generated abstract impressionist piece."

Assistant Professor by Jenny Kowalski

"These pieces are all created as generative art using p5.js. Each piece represents one of an infinite number of variations of art based on set parameters."

Midnight Tree by Bryce Hudson

"This is an AI-generated tree."

Keweenaw Re-Generated by Ian Raymond

"Keweenaw Landscapes Re-Generated:

Visualizing the Past (in Plastic) by Alexandria Guth and Bryan Franklin

"2D paleogeographic maps are computationally transformed to produce 3D-printed globes to show past versions of our planet."

Stationary Patient by Betsy Lehman

"This was originally created for an exam in PSY5210 as a function to automatically plot patients' names, heart rates, breathing, and body temperatures over time. The flawed code instead produced a representation of the student/artist's internal state during graduate school following the loss of her mother and the start of a global pandemic."

Noisescape #1 by Josey Kathleen Hanish

"A mountainous landscape is algorithmically generated and printed with a digital printer (HP Color Laserjet Enterprise M855). Then, the Python program used is hand-set in moveable lead type and printed over the landscape on a traditional letterpress (Vandercook Proof Press No. 3). The text is separated from the typical context of computer programs while adding context to the print of the landscape. Supporting photographs, to be displayed alongside the print, show the Vandercook press and the moveable lead type."

Fiber Reinforced Art Network (FRAN) by Kara Hardy and William Johnston

"FRAN explores the intersection between organic and inorganic. It was 3D printed using a custom G-Code that prints long thin strings between opposite sides of the outer wall. If you look closely at the web, you can see a pair of eyes, a nose and a mouth."

FiberUP by William Johnston

"This 3D printed artwork portrays the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, crafted not just as a geographical tribute but as a showcase of the intersection between technology and creativity. Utilizing a specialized computational design tool, the piece intricately positions a network of thin, flexible fibers within the peninsula’s outline, a task that blends artistic expression with technical precision. Each fiber is strategically placed, and the coordinates are seamlessly translated into a 3D printing G-Code file, highlighting the innovative use of technology to bring an artistic vision to life. This artwork not only captures the unique beauty and spirit of the Upper Peninsula but also exemplifies the transformative potential of merging computational innovation with creative design. The result is a captivating piece that invites viewers to explore the harmonious blend of art and science."

The Circuitry of Exploration: Johnson Space Center - NASA by Janelly Sanchez-Puentes

"This 3 inch x 5 inch circuit board is 3D printed."

Heibon by Emerson Landsparger

"A silly man stands wearing a suit while doing a silly pose."

Falling Colors by Mary Gray

"This is a piece I decided to create while I was experimenting with texture, acrylic paints, a sponge and color combinations. The colors I chose were based on a cool color scheme versus warm. The first snow in the fall reminded of me how the northern lights are more vibrant with cooler colors versus the northern lights in the spring with warmer colors. Artists sometimes only see the flaws in their artwork, an outside perspective can see the beauty and what I miss."

Ghost in the Machine by Arden Schager

"Ghost in the Machine is a web-based audiovisual piece that uses p5.js to deconstruct and recompose faces from the 'Faces in the Wild' dataset. Inspired by the surrealist exquisite corpse, the interface slices and merges facial data into ghostly composites. As the viewer moves their mouse, the images shift—some recognizable, some monstrous, all unsettlingly familiar.

Echoing this visual fragmentation is a haunting audio layer built from sliced speech—broadcasts, monologues, and crowd noise—dissolving into digital static. The result is a sensory fugue of identity: a brutal algorithmic churn in which individuality is distorted, dissolved, and repurposed. Ghost in the Machine reflects on the spectral nature of selfhood in a culture of relentless datafication—where surveillance systems not only recognize us, but actively reassemble us."

him. by Richie Shadibaeva

"This captivating series explores the many facets of love through the subtle interplay of light, emotion, and symbolism. Each photograph is a visual poem, featuring intimate glimpses into a relationship - rings that symbolize commitment, flowers that represent the fragility and beauty of affection, hands that convey touch and connection, and a lone figure playing a guitar, pouring his heart into the music."

Husky by Anwaruddin Siddiqui Mohammed

"The 3d printed art is an example of the anamorphic art. If seen from one view (XZ plane) the word 'HUSKY' can be seen and when viewed from the over view (YZ plane) husky can be seen."

Dialed Melodies by Jennifer Dinkel

"'Dialed Melodies' transforms a broken digital telephone into a type of music box."

We are all androids by Sillygoose Co Studio

"This is a fusion of human identity and circuitry, illustrating how technology seeps into our essence. The red circuit lines symbolize a lifeblood of innovation, while the stark palette underscores the contrast between flesh and machine. Tribal motifs hint at our ancient roots, reminding us that even as we evolve, we carry our history forward into a digital future."
