A Gesture for a Mammal
2023. AI-generated mammals in over-tourism scenarios become a reflection on climate anxiety, ecological fragility, and the blurred line between human intention and machine-generated distortion.
About
About
Udi Cassirer is a Moroccan-Romanian visual artist whose work operates at the dynamic intersection of traditional painting and digital technology. Drawing from the legacy of Abstract Expressionism, specifically its gestural abstraction and structural linearity, he deconstructs established visual narratives and reassembles them through technological intervention.
Cassirer's process critiques the dominance and accepted value of purely handmade art. By incorporating digital editing, AI, and collage, he pushes painting into a contemporary dimension. The resulting visual vocabulary is defined by intentional glitches: digital disruptions that are both an aesthetic signature and a metaphor for uncertainty, disruption, and transformation in modern society.
His work searches for an evolving language in contemporary art, one where the machine's error can function as a humanist gesture.
