Channing Hansen's (LA 1972 - ) practice combines a passion for science with a Fluxus enthusiasm for iterative experimentation. A computer programmer for many years, Hansen realizes his work by isolating variables — material, dye color, pattern, stitch — assigning them values, and running those values through a computer program to create the instructions for his next piece. The result is a kind of Fluxus "score," a set of parameters that guides the series without dictating its final result.

This work from I, Algorithm represented the artist's most direct engagement with AI to date. Rather than build an algorithm using an external data set, he made a body of work based on what AI thought his work was. He hired a data scientist to write an AI machine learning program using previous work as the data set. That program then generated a set of instructions to make “a Channing Hansen artwork”—or, at least, whatever the AI thought that was.

Hansen's Fluxus leanings are owed in part to family lineage. His grandfather, Al Hansen, was a founding member of the movement. Friend to Yoko Ono and John Cage, Al Hansen's contributions to Fluxus included performances and the seminal text A Primer of Happenings and Time Space Art. Channing Hansen continues to perform his grandfather's works, and Al's influence can be seen as Hansen prioritizes process and experimentation in pursuit of innovation.
