Sofia Crespo, Generative Artist | Tech+Art
Sofia Crespo is a generative artist working with neural networks and machine learning models - effectively blending these new technologies with biology-inspired concepts to produce incredibly unique outputs.
One of Sofia’s main focuses areas and underlying thesis, is the way organic life uses artificial mechanisms to simulate itself and evolve, implying that technologies are a biased product of the organic life that created them and not a completely separated object.
She is also passionate about creativity and the changing role of artists who are working with machine learning techniques.
