I write about AI, authorship, cognitive sovereignty, and embodied creativity across essays, lectures, and research contexts.

The (Hidden) Cost of Creative AI
published in Creative AI Unfiltered, 29 Aug 2025Read “The (Hidden) Cost of Creative AI”, where I unpack the emotional, economic, and cognitive pressures behind working with generative tools — and reflect on how speed, automation, and constant output can quietly erode creative agency if we don’t design our workflows consciously.

OLDER ESSAYS
Orchestrating Pixels: How AI Art Direction is Redefining Creative Industry
published on Medium, 12 Nov 2023Read “Orchestrating Pixels”, where I explore how AI art direction is reshaping the creative industry and argue that the role of the creative is shifting from image-maker to system-designer — orchestrating prompts, models, and aesthetics into intentional visual worlds.

TroublingGAN: Creating Knowledge through the Alternative Use of Neural Networks in Artistic Research
published in AIxDESIGN (Medium), 15 June 2022Read my essay “TroublingGAN” on Medium, where I reflect on training a custom GAN on images of “troubling times” and explore how generative AI can be used as an artistic research tool to question how images shape what we see, feel, and believe.

A Future Scenario for Deepfakes: Personalized Synthetic Advertising
published in The Hmm Dossier On Deepfakes, 29 May 2020Read my article “A Future Scenario for Deepfakes”, where I outline a speculative near-future shaped by synthetic media and explore how deepfakes might transform trust, identity, and our shared sense of reality.

ACADEMIC ARTICLES
Reimagining Human-AI Co-Creation Through Tactile Exploration
published in Tangible Territory, TT Journal, ISSUE 6, September 2023
Read my essay “Modelling Clay as a Medium”, where I explore clay as a tactile interface for thinking with and about technology, reflecting on how physical material can become a way to understand digital systems, embodiment, and human–machine interaction.

TroublingGAN: Generated Visual Ambiguity as a Speculative Alternative to Photojournalism
published in Journal for Artistic Research, 31 (2023)Read my essay “TroublingGAN” on Medium, where I reflect on training a custom GAN on images of “troubling times” and explore how generative AI can be used as an artistic research tool to question how images shape what we see, feel, and believe.

How Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) Changed the Way We Look at the World Or the Necessity of Visual Scepticism in the Post-Truth Era.
Published in Data and Art 2019 Conference Proceedings, 117–43. Brno: Brno University of Technology Faculty of Fine Arts. Read this paper, where I compare image manipulation before and after the rise of AI-generated media, using the breakthrough of GANs as a turning point, and argue that no detection technology can fully restore trust in images — making critical thinking, public dialogue, and firsthand familiarity with synthetic media tools our most urgent defense against a new era of visual confusion.
