Terence Broad is an artist and researcher living and working in Newcastle Upon Tyne. He has a research-led practice exploring new methodologies for computational image making. Since 2015 he has been making art using machine learning, engaging with themes of replication, simulation and representation. His research explores new methods that allow for the manipulation of ‘black-box’ AI models, and other strategies for uncovering the latent aesthetic possibilities of generative AI systems. His practice is a process of humanizing technology and giving rise to the possibility for a subjective machine.
His art and research have been presented internationally: at conferences and journals such as SIGGRAPH, Leonardo, NeurIPS, EvoMUSART, and ICCC; and museums such as The Whitney Museum of American Art, Garage Museum of Contemporary Art, Ars Electronica, The Barbican, and The Whitechapel Gallery. In 2019 He won the Grand Prize in the ICCV Computer Vision Art Gallery and in 2021 he served on the Jury for SIGGRAPH. His work is in the city of Geneva’s contemporary art collection.
Terence Broad is currently a Ph.D. candidate at Goldsmiths, University of London and is a visiting researcher at the UAL Creative Computing Institute.
