HUMAN, MACHINE, PAINTING

Polish painter Roman Lipski (b. Nowy Dwór Gdański, Poland, 1969; lives and works in Berlin) is a pioneer in the field of quantum art. His works are created using Quantum Blur, a technique for manipulating images with quantum operations. In 2016 he began exploring Artificial Muse, an algorithm-based digital entity that allows him to freely experiment with the expressive possibilities of painting. The software consists of various algorithms that learn how color, composition, contrasts, and textures work in Lipski’s paintings. In the end, it spits out new works—painted in Lipski’s style, but not by the artist.

Lipski’s technological experiments dissect the interplay between art and science in a way that promises new forms of creativity and inspiration, a tantalising prospect. Superpositions presents this new cycle of works as well as a wide-ranging cross section of work from the past 16 years.
