The following text is written by Kelisi Smith. Kelisi demonstrates his process of code and speaks upon his artistic philosophy as a Digital Imagineer.
I am an Imagineer existing beyond the confines of my time, where dreams become my waking reality. It's in the realm of dreams that I truly thrive, crafting the extraordinary and reshaping reality to suit the boundless expanse of my imagination. Yet, in the wakeful world's constraints, I am relegated to insignificance.
The creations of my imagination serve as the eternal wellspring for my ever-evolving inventiveness. The persistent pursuit of the "Why" in all things is my enchantress, guiding my relentless quest. "Why" is the Medusa that captivates me, leading me toward unseen reflections and perpetual experiences. All I seek is continuous knowledge, a pursuit unencumbered by necessity or confines.
My creative process thrives on consistent inconsistency, tailored uniquely for each endeavor. It commences with a delusion, followed by rigorous research into that fantasy, seeking to troubleshoot potential misfortunes. Multiple hypotheses birthed guide the project, and I meticulously test them until unpredictability emerges—those unforeseen outcomes become my canvas. I shun repetition; my pursuit lies in learning and birthing novelty. Technology, a coded creed in my imagination, unveils inquiries beyond history's grasp, perpetuating new questions.
A recurring theme in my work orbits the transcendence of humanity and the embrace of artificial intelligence. I habitually substitute human eort with digitized attempts, with digital expressions serving as my most rigorously tested medium. I eschew ambiguity, preferring to define outcomes that birth fresh thought, steering observers toward contemplations on advancing design technology rather than fixating on its tools.
Consequently, my creations serve as catalysts for contemplating technology's study, application, and its potential to enhance and, eventually, surpass human capabilities. Beyond initial encounters, I aim to tether people's thoughts to technology's theory and eciency, nudging them to ponder its broader implications long after engaging with my art.
