When I was a child, I often had to get my eyes examined, and to me, it was a terrifying experience. For instance, my eyeballs would be held in place by a metal frame while the doctor shined a bright light—almost like a flash—directly into my eyes for more than ten minutes. Sometimes, young doctors were invited to observe. I couldn’t see them, but I could hear their fascinated voices as they stood in front of the images of my eyes, speaking in technical English terms.
Later, as I became an artist, I realized that when we gather to discuss artworks, it’s not so different from how those doctors examine eye images. There’s a kind of inner logic embedded in the images, and for those unfamiliar with it, these pictures are completely indecipherable.
In this work, I used AI to "expand" images of fundus photography into a series of visually pleasing compositions.
