500mL/point (2024)

500mL/point is a cost-benefit analysis of outsourcing your art practice to artificial intelligence.  The work is assembled from materials produced on various AI platforms alongside text appropriated from AI advertisements, and its title refers to the vast quantities of water required to build, use and maintain AI systems. Responding to data-driven approaches to art and culture that overwhelmingly frame AI as an innocuous tool for creative practice, 500mL/point playfully explores its entanglement in emergent crises and considers notions of cultural authority and liveness in network culture.
