Introduced to knitting in 2009, Hansen drew upon his work as a computer programmer to develop Algorithms that would dictate the materials and composition of his textiles. Using organic materials, primarily wool gathered from conservation-breed sheep, the artist dyes, spins, and hand-knits his work based on patterns determined by the computer. "Defined Divergent" is from a new series that represents Channing Hansen's most direct engagement with AI to date. In this case, rather than build an algorithm using an external data set, Hansen hired a data scientist to write an AI machine learning program using his past work as the data set. The dimensions, patterns, colors, and even titles of previous Channing Hansen artworks were fed into the program, which then generated a set of instructions to create “a Channing Hansen artwork”—or, at least, what the AI thought a Channing Hansen should be.Exhibitions
