Entangled by Van Arman x Huffman
Entangled
Bio
As an innovative, award-winning artist pioneering the emerging field of synthetic creativity, Pindar Van Arman has blazed a unique trail in both the physical and digital art worlds. His reflective AI system uses robots and a variety of collaborating algorithms to paint emergent art on stretched canvases.
Van Arman’s works are the focus of frequent solo, group shows, and major art installations including acceptance into LACMAs permanent collection. His work has also been covered in publications around the world including Time, Fine Art America, Artnet News, MIT Technology Review, Smithsonian Magazine, The Washington Post, Scientific American, and more.
Throughout this journey Van Arman has focused on portraiture, examining what it means to be human in the age of mechanical creativity. His creative systems interact with its subject as it develops new ways of seeing from a machine's perspective.

About This Piece
My CryptoCube was made on an IBM quantum computer in collaboration with Russell Huffman.
Quantum entanglement is notoriously difficult to visually represent, but that doesn’t preclude using it from artistic exploration. The primary characteristic that we wanted to pick up on in this piece is that with entanglement, a group of particles cannot be described independently of the state of the others. To this end we created a single piece where our styles are inseparable in one artwork. We are two artists living in different places, with two very different styles, yet the differences in the artwork cannot be separated.
Future
Everything will change in next couple years in unpredictable ways as ASI arrives. Looking forward to it.
