Artist Statement
Marcus Pierce’s art questions what makes art distinctly human, distinctly conscious in an age of AI-generated creations. He creates ever-evolving paintings that exaggerate the human process: take action, reflect, revise. His recursive and self-referencing style is inspired by cognitive science and models of consciousness. Because consciousness is experiential, he paints in public to allow the art to evolve in an ecosystem—a physical space, a specific time, with social interactions. Passersby are invited to approach and have conversations with him about the artwork as it unfolds. A cross-pollination of ideas occurs that later may be echoed in the art. As a result, the work becomes a culmination of shared human experiences—something AI cannot create.
