"Pamblo: Remembering a forgotten leader" was a huge success. Tribal members said it brought tears to their eyes. Anyone that says AI art has no soul is simply wrong. The exhibition is in Nevada City, CA and will be up for a year.

Last year, I created 5 murals for a really unique exhibition. I used neural networks to recreate a Chief, Chief Pamblo, that was never photographed. Its one of the first examples of AI being used for cultural restoration. Then I used my custom computational muralism pipelines to generate the Murals. The murals were over a billion pixels. The artworks below were created in collaboration with the Nevada City Rancheria (NCR) Nisenan Tribe guided by CHIRP's Visibility Through Art (VTA) Initiative. This intentional and informed collaboration includes hours of consultation with the Tribe to best address their visibility needs. VTA is intended to generate Cultural awareness and build an understanding of the Nisenan through art. ubaseo.org/pamblo #MilesDearling #Nisenan #CulturalRestoration #ChiefPamblo #Pamblo #visionaryart

✨ The Throat Chakra ✨ The neck is the passage from the head to the heart. The throat is the way the inner world calls out to physical reality, speaking thoughts into words with tones. Finding your inner voice is a right of passage. Remember the little person deep down inside of you that makes it all happen. chakra_throat01v1 – Collaboratively Created, Illustrated in Photoshop, Procreate, & Forge of Neon by @adam.dryden, AI engineering by @visual.synthesizer.art. Our concepts are created through old school conversation. We collaborate by passing files back and forth. All our work is self generated and our AI is trained on ◣◣◣◣◣blk’s hand drawn body of work. Some of the new work is still hand drawn. When we like it we make prints, shirts, pins, stickers… Help us expand our audience and tag a friend who would like to see this. 🤩✨

Genesis: and The Wizards Wager... Since 2017, I’ve held a hypothesis: Human–machine collaboration will outperform pure AI. This wasn’t guesswork — it was pattern recognition. I watched it happen in cyborg chess: when a human teamed up with an AI assistant, they could defeat even the strongest engines. Strategy + synthesis. Instinct + computation. Now, I’m seeing the same principle unfold in art. My creative partner, Adam Dryden — a professional artist with 30 years of experience — and I have developed a deeply collaborative, AI-assisted art practice. I trained our model on his visual language, refined the aesthetic signals, and now we work in tandem with it — not to generate random outputs, but to invoke intention through every prompt. What we’re creating can’t be replicated by the biggest models on Earth. We’re seeing it in real time: Trained, tuned symbiosis is beating billion-dollar scale. We call it: Trained Sentient Abstraction An intentional fusion of human vision and machine capability, guided by symbolic intelligence — not randomness. The result isn’t output. It’s revelation. The art becomes a vessel for myth. 📷📷 AI is powerful. But without intention, it’s just a mirror. Humans bring narrative, ethics, rhythm. Machines bring precision, scale, memory. Together, they unlock something that’s neither human nor machine — but post-human. We’re not just using AI. We’re orchestrating it. This is the future of art: Not automation — augmentation Not imitation — initiation The artists who learn to dance with machines will redefine the edge. We’re not just wizards. We’re time-travelers who bet on the right future. Most people “use” AI. We channel it. 📷 A Note on the Future I won’t pretend this edge will last forever. Even cyborg chess — once unbeatable — has been eclipsed by AI alone. Today, the strongest chess engines no longer need our intuition. They learned from us, and then transcended us in that narrow domain. That’s the chessboard. But here’s what that moment teaches us: In domains with fixed rules and perfect information, AI can — and likely will — surpass us. But most of life, art, emotion, philosophy, spirituality, and story? They have no fixed rules. They are wild, symbolic, and fluid. Which means: We still matter — more than ever — where things are uncertain, intuitive, and mythic. Even if AI becomes technically “better” at art… collaborative human–machine work will always carry something deeper: Our scars. Our lineage. Our contradictions. Our longing. The wizard’s wager was never that humans would always outrun machines. It was this: The fusion of both will always make the most human art. And I still believe that.

✨ The Path ✨ The path before us is not always a straight one. Very commonly there are a lot of gaps that need to be bridged and obstacles to cross. It can be a very checkered at point. The key is balance while maintaining trajectory. Try and make fun. Good luck all you lovely people. This piece was definitely inspired by my love of the classics; Tetris, Marble Madness, Sonic the Hedge Hog, and of course Mario Bros. ‘tunnel level’. To be continued…. I am working on a Chakra series. This is not a part of it. Life happened and I didn’t get to it this week. Maybe next.

Flash back to 2017.. AI assisted art

2016-17 era had charm too

"Temple of the Mind" Temple of the mind, key to consciousness— A golden passage through thoughts unspoken, Where helix after helix spirals outward, Carrying the script of endless possibility. Here, in subtle luminance, All roads converge to that radiant core Where the pineal sleeps yet glows; A silent guide through cosmic expanse. Sanctuary from the cold, A hush of warmth and wonder, Where spirit and cell entwine— Stillness ignited by truth. Collaboration between Adam Dryden and Visual Synthesizer
