mythic machines is interested in the merging of myth and machine.
it investigates our access to spirituality mediated by computers.
how do the recent developments in AI transfigure how myth and transformation are experienced through our bodies?
how are somatic and spiritual processes understood and visualized in the age of LLMs?

mythic machines is a series renderings taken from the inner experience of the artist via questions from a custom GPT model.
these inner images are consequently visualized through DALL-E.

situated somewhere between kitsch representation and somatic rootedness, question the boundary between spirituality and technology, human body and machine.
