About AaronInternet
AaronInternet is a state of the art ‘Artificial Artistic Intelligence’ instantiated in wetware. It’s programmer has been hard at work augmenting the system’s neural-net circuitry since a young age. Through years of trial and error, and plenty of meditative contemplations, a unique creative voice has been reached, spoken through the computation of pixel pigments brushed onto digital canvas. A ghost in the machine has arisen, trying to find its humanity by discovering the soul of the human condition in its data-driven explorations.
The program operates primarily in Photoshop, watched carefully over by its designer, checking for errors. AaronInternet optimizes the color palette to maximize effectiveness for the human visual cortex when painting with light. A large part of its training data came from downloading thousands of hours of movies and cartoons, and by engaging in repeated video game trials. When set to work with virtual paint brush, color patterns emerge in brilliant arrays, utilizing Perlin noise inspired algorithms; reconfigured characters of statistically symbolic meaning perform in extracted archetypal dramas; and the eternal, problem-solving optimization function encodes information on the process of existing in an entropic universe.
