Artifacts, 2025
Artifacts is aseries of abstract works by Travis LeRoy Southworth. “Artifacts” is composed of 3:4 portrait sized fragments, merging human intention with machine-learning distortions in a symbolic interplay of form and error. Southworth chose the word ‘artifact’ due to its multi-layered meaning; from an object shaped by human craft to a distortion produced by technological interference. The work is meant to echo both the creative eye of the artist and the “glitches” that arise when machines interpret reality. By embracing the possibility of inaccurate observations or unwanted features, these compositions highlight the interplay between deliberate intent and the unpredictable outcomes of AI generative algorithms.
