About
Dennis Scheiba (*1991) is a audio-visual artist who is interested in critical reflection of technology and its political implications upon society and tries to create new technologies which enable a broader and distributed audience. With a background as a data scientist he is familiar with the technology and power behind big datasets and their algorithms as used in A.I. and tries to create artworks which get beyond the traditional usage via generating vast examples of A.I. generated content by taking a look behind the curtain of the technology.
