Laura Splan and Minne Atairu
Two artists explore human-AI coexistence through distinct approaches. Atairu uses algorithmic reconstructions to visualize erased histories; Splan employs AI-assisted modeling exploring biotechnology and body aesthetics. Both probe humanity across flesh, code, and daily patterns while using AI as a collaborative tool and provocation.
