Turning AI into art

Jenny Sabin is an American architect, educator, and researcher whose work centers on design and emerging technologies, and bridges the gap between science, art and architecture. Her latest project is called Ada, an astonishing AI-driven structure designed in honor of one of the first computer programmers, Ada Lovelace. It is made of fabric digitally knit with photoluminescent yarn, 895 3D printed nodes, 1,274 fiberglass rods, and weighs about 1,800 pounds. Ada is currently on view at Microsoft's corporate headquarters in Redmond, Washington.

WATCH:

Jenny was awarded the prestigious Architectural League Prize in 2014. Her work has been exhibited internationally including at the FRAC Centre, Cooper Hewitt Design Triennial, and as part of Imprimer Le Monde at the Pompidou.

Enigmatic Shapes and Psychedelic Patterns

To say that I love Sanagi 's work is an understatement. Looking at her art feels sort of therapeutic, and I find her drawings refreshingly intricate. They're trippy, psychedelic, and resemble something that you might see under a microscope. Not much is Googleable about Sanagi, but that's fine. There aren't many artists these days that still pull off the whole mysterious vibe, so I commend her for that. By the way... they're all hand-drawn with pen and ink.

Listen to Reggie Pearl’s “Moldavite”

Reggie Pearl deserves more recognition. I really like her music and I struggled to pick a song to recommend if you somehow only have the time to listen to one. But “Moldavite” blew me away the first time I heard it, and I hope you will love it too.

Random poem for this sunny Friday

This by Wendell Berry, whom I know nothing about. Beautiful. I can relate to it somehow. And of course I love the visuals by Charlotte Ager and Katy Wang.
