Pablo Cardoza Gallery will present "The Hand of God, with a Paring Knife," a solo show featuring works by London Ham.
"The Hand of God ..." is a modular image system for producing dynamic visual compositions. Its core consists of two artist-designed algorithms that employ machine learning and computer vision to extract and recombine figures from cinematic imagery. While the artist selects the source material, the act of segmentation and composition is performed by a machine.
In this sense, the project is as much about human choice as it is about what the machine sees. This is an artwork about the automation of creative labor, but it is also something more radical: an experiment in algorithmic aesthetics, where the logic of machinic vision accelerates beyond human intention.
By repurposing a computer vision model originally designed for corporate industrial applications - self-driving vehicles, package sorting, surveillance - the project transforms a tool of objectification into an instrument of artistic production. The result is an artwork that neither fully belongs to human authorship nor entirely to the machine, but rather to the accelerating interplay between them.
The exhibition will remain on display through June 1.
