Description
Human-crafted. AI-refined.The artwork presents a black and white image of a closed-circuit television (CCTV) camera. The camera is depicted in a minimalist, utilitarian style, with a distinct angular and geometric composition accentuated by the high-contrast monochromatic palette.

Currently, he is artist in residency at MindSpaces, an EU research project in the STARTS initiative framework.
