Bernard

Bernardus Muller or Bernard is a generative AI artist whose work is a compelling blend of human emotion and machine-learned patterns. Diagnosed with ALS in 2010, he's wheelchair-bound and relies on a ventilator. Yet, Bernard communicates and creates art solely through eye-tracking technology, challenging conventional definitions of artist and medium.

Before his artistic journey, Bernard was a maritime entrepreneur. The strategic mindset he cultivated then serves him now as he navigates the complex landscape of AI and art. His creations—abstract generations to personalized AI portraits—prompt viewers to reconsider art, creativity, and the capabilities of both humans and machines. He uses self-trained Machine Learning models to make his art.

Married to Antoinette and father to two sons, Joost and Emiel, Bernard's art serves as a powerful testament to human resilience. His work doesn't just capture imaginations; it changes perceptions about disability, technology, and the indomitable human spirit.
