A series of riso prints I’ve made during the workshop period at MAKE Eindhoven, to which I was invited by
Wobby.club.
Deep learning image models were all the rage at the time of the workshop – while initially I’ve dismissed them as a gimmick infringing on copyright, I got more interested with possibilities of using your own images as prompts, as opposed to text prompts only.
Trying to regain a sense of (at least partial) authorship, I’ve fed scribbles and hand-made drawings into the machine. Then I took the images I got and cut-up, collaged and otherwise edited them further, sometimes repeating the whole process a few times. The last step was translating the digital images into full colour riso prints, with 4 separate printing layers making up the image.
We selected six young artists to work on the spot: Carlyn Westerink (NL), Fynn van der Ziel (NL), Jiaojiao Li
(CN/NL), Kasper van Moll (NL), Mizuki Kimura (NL), Radek Górniak (PL/NL).
Each year, six talented illustrators and visual artists are given the opportunity to experiment with the facilities of Make and Wobby's own risoprinter. Under the watchful eye of Koen Taselaar, they experimented with graphic techniques and the risoprinter.
