Self-Portrait of Feedback, a synthetically creative robot I used throughout 2024. Like my previous robots, Feedback continues to use battling AI agents to create a painting. It has one conceptual simplification, however. I used to describe my synthetically creative process as two dozen competing AI Agents. For Feedback I split the AI Agents into expressive algorithms and technical algorithms. The expressive algorithms control a brush on a robot arm, while the technical algorithms control markers on an XY plotter. Back and forth they go from fluid brushstrokes to precise line work, until the painting is complete.
