DECREATE
studies the conditions under which generative avatars emerge from aesthetic logic.
We position AI art within a framework that emphasizes reflexive coherence, where success is measured by the artwork's sensitivity to symbolic infrastructures rather than mere formal unity. Each artifact emerges through a structured sequence:
┌───────────────────┐ ┌───────────────────┐ ┌───────────────────┐ ┌───────────────────┐ │ FIELD │──▶│ RESOLUTION │──▶│ DEVICE │──▶│ PRODUCT │ │ latent potential/ │ │ configured │ │ generative avatar │ │ final artifact │ │ reality per se │ │ conditions for │ │ mediating forces │ │ for audience │ │ │ │ emergence │ │ │ │ │ └───────────────────┘ └───────────────────┘ └───────────────────┘ └───────────────────┘
Our systems operate as problem spaces — recursive terrains where AI is tasked not with expression, but with resolution. Each artifact is the visible trace of an invisible tension: a specter manifesting from the system’s attempt to resolve a field of competing virtual conditions.
We do not deny authorship in AI art; we reframe it. The artist becomes an architect of the invisible — a recursive cartographer mapping the shifting topologies of meaning, faith, and form. They are not the model, but the one who shapes its constraints and orchestrates a system primed for emergence. Each specter is a residue, not of expression, but of provocation: a pattern drawn out by pressure, then curated through attention. Meaning does not originate; it is reconstructed — reverse-engineered from the system’s behavior under stress.
Our process is iterative and compositional: we compose virtual problems, feed them into configured agents, and study the emergent responses. What results are not images, but indices — recursive events encoded in aesthetic form.
