Hidden Birds
2021

Hidden Birds uses an algorithm duo to find birds that are hidden inside the almost-infinite space of possible color stains and curves laid on a canvas. At what moment do stains and lines become a bird?

The first algorithm, the artist, places some color stains on the blank paper, and then calls upon the second one, an art critic to examine it and determine whether it’s birdish enough to its taste.

In an ongoing conversation, the artist is using the critirc’s tiny hints to improve its skills.
