A Sovrn Curated collection, Reflection embodies Van Arman’s innovative “Reflective AI,” which aims to teach machines to paint with childlike spontaneity. The system uses feedback loops and multimodal mark-making, capturing the canvas’s unpredictable paint movements with each mark. This allows the robot to engage with the painting in real-time, blending fluid, gestural strokes with precise ones, ultimately simulating the core elements of the artistic creative process. The digital aspect uses a long-form generative approach that utilizes the physical canvas, capturing stages of the painting, translating them into a digital format, and composing them for minting.
