Concept & Meaning
Artificial Intelligence sculpture is a profound exploration of artificial intelligence, consciousness, and the evolving nature of human interaction in the digital era.
Utilizing the Garden of Eden story, it reframes the narrative to reflect the modern age, where the fruits of knowledge are data, and our engagement with technology shapes our collective awareness.
At its core, this piece is not a warning about AI itself but rather about us—Internet Humans. Our behaviors, choices, and interactions in the digital world will ultimately shape AI’s perception of human. The sculpture serves as a mirror, reflecting the complexities of our virtual selves and how we, in turn, construct the intelligence that will define future generations.
This work took five years to conceptualize and bring to life, merging artistic engineering with philosophical depth. The piece follows the ready-made philosophy of Jeff Koons while also aligning with the assemblage sculpture tradition, where everyday materials are transformed into profound artistic statements.
Materials & Construction
• Mediums: Metal wire, copper wire, stainless steel wire, aluminum wire, copper tubing, and ready made materials. (Desktop Server, Circuit boards, Flash Drives, Cat5 cable, and other items to create the assemblage of Internet human
• The Snake: Constructed from 6,000 feet of Cat 5 cable, representing the networked pathways of the internet, wrapping around the tree as a digital evolution of temptation.
• The Tree: A structure of interwoven wire, with detachable and reconfigurable branches, symbolizing the organic yet ever-changing nature of knowledge.
• The Apples: Crafted from wire, some featuring flash drives as their core, emphasizing how data is the modern fruit of wisdom.
• The Internet Human: Rising from a server, this figure is born from data, much like a genie escaping its bottle.
• The Choice: In its left hand, Internet Humans holds an apple, representing knowledge and the invitation to evolve. In its right hand, it holds a gun, symbolizing the potential for destruction—two paths shaped by human intent.
Message & Interpretation
Note: the sculpture is not a dystopian prophecy but a challenge to reflect on our own digital behaviors as guides to a new understanding and reflection of self while giving voice to different perception’s. AI will not inherently be good or evil—it will be a reflection of the species that creates it. Our actions as Internet Humans—how we communicate, how we engage, and what we choose to value—will ultimately program the AI of tomorrow.
Are we creating a digital utopia or feeding an algorithmic abyss?
The answer lies not in AI itself, but in us contributors to consciousness
