SPIKE

An experimental hybrid A.I project extending already edited layered images.

Using Williams' own imagery as textures he has prompted his image making software to create types of futuristic spiked like orbs and worlds.

NOTES FROM THE PUBISHER:

tyrone williams is a northampton-based image maker with over 15 years of experience in photography and image manipulation. Aesthetix, CHIASM and Phosphorescent are just a handful of titles behind the experimental legends belt. beyond a personal admiration for the work, i found myself fascinated by the process and the artist. williams has taken a form of media to its absolute boundary, side-stepped that boundary and pushed even further beyond by fully embracing the power of digital tools: 3d rendering, digital image manipulation, ai extension - the list is exhaustive, and williams has conquered them all.

whilst his career initially had a fascination toward beauty in the mundane, SPIKE sees a lens shift to something more metaphysical, more reactionary. a result of multi-layered textures and images, these monuments appear to have a composition comprised equally of chrome and bacteria - artificial yet natural. their forms algorithmically extended, the artworks are windows into a future both biophillic and hyper-digital. a representation of the artist’s wariness towards the unknown future we are marching towards in the arts, the titular spikes command a metaphorical distance to the viewer. SPIKE begs the question of whether this no-man’s land should be breached, and if so, to what end does this mirror a creative collaboration? what will result in the mixture of machine and art? it’s a delicate balancing act that williams is boldly embarking on, outputting bold, striking and innovative imagery along the way.
