In his AI-assisted painting practice, Fudge approaches composition as a series of both strategic and aleatory aesthetic decisions, similar to planning moves in chess. To visualize this, he uses AI to generate a series of painting strategies that are then incorporated into the painting process. This method blends human and artificial imagination, creating a dynamic interplay between AI-generated backgrounds and his own painting methods. By clearly delineating these elements, he produces works that fuse human and non-human processes, developing Duchamp's concept of chance operations and art as the readymade. This fusion of techniques not only reinvents traditional painting, but also pushes the boundaries of contemporary creative production.
