HARSHIT AGRAWAL | India
Harshit is an artificial intelligence (A.I) and a new media artist. Through his practice, he explores what he calls the ‘human-machine creativity continuum’- the melding of human and machine cre- ative agency. He uses machines and algorithms and often creates them as an essential part of his art process, embracing becoming the cyborg artist. He often juxtaposes traditional art media and tools along with machines and computation, creating a space in both directions, and be guided by the machine. Harshit was the only Indian artist in one of the world’s first A.I art shows in a contempo- rary art gallery (Gradient Descent show held at Nature Morte gallery).
