34 Gallery Artist: Adithya Muralidharan

 "As an artist, I've always been fascinated by the intersection of technology and creativity. My recent exploration of A.I. technology in art-making has not only revolutionized my creative process, but has also had a profound impact on my mental health. I've discovered a new sense of freedom and liberation in my artistic expression. The algorithmic nature of A.I. allows me to tap into a realm of unpredictability. The machine's output is often surprising & unexpected. 

This surrender to the unknown has been incredibly liberating. It forces me to let go of my need for control and perfection. The resulting art pieces are often a beautiful blend of human intuition and machine-driven serendipity. The collaborative aspect of A.I. art-making has helped me to quiet my inner critic and silence the voices of self-doubt. I've learned to trust my instincts and embrace the beauty of imperfection. This newfound confidence has translated into other areas of my life. I approach challenges with curiosity and openness.

The therapeutic benefits of A.I. art extend beyond the creative process itself. It has become a form of meditation for me, a calming and centering experience that helps to quiet my mind and reduce anxiety. The iterative process of refining and reworking A.I.-generated images has also taught me the value of patience and persistence, essential skills for navigating the complexities of modern life.

Ultimately, my A.I. art practice has become a powerful tool for self-care and creative expression. By embracing the possibilities of A.I. technology, I've discovered a new language for communicating emotions, thoughts, and experiences. This fusion of human and machine has given me a sense of agency and empowerment, allowing me to tap into the full potential of my creativity and share it with the world."
