With contributions from 96 participants worldwide, they gathered over 1,000 photos of jewellery on human skin. These images became the foundation for a custom machine learning algorithm to co-create Ornamisms with. In the latest iteration of this ongoing project, pieces from Swillen’s recent orthodontic and periodontal treatments are brought into dialogue with the AI-generated imagery. Connecting medtech, jewellery, skins, screens, and code, the work speculates about (e)merging bodies in an age of AI. | Document URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/1942/48512 | Discipline: | multidisciplinair | Research Context: | Artificial Intelligems, founded by Anneleen Swillen and Greg Scheirlinckx in 2020, bridges jewellery with graphic design, music, performance, and machine learning. Through participatory projects such as Ornamutations and Ornamisms, developed in collaboration with over 100 participants and a custom A I model, Artificial Intelligems researches co-creative, speculative, futures adornment. By creating space for collaboration, experimentation, and critical reflection, they aim to expand notions of human-centred design, materiality, value, and authorship, thereby exploring jewellery as sites for more-than-human encounters, (re)imagination, entangled agency, and co-learning within a post-digital culture. In the latest iteration of this ongoing project, pieces from Swillen’s recent orthodontic and periodontal treatments are brought into dialogue with the AI-generated imagery. Connecting medtech, jewellery, skins, screens, and code, the work speculates about (e)merging bodies in an age of AI. | Impact Description: | The project was intended to be showcased at the exhibition "IT'S A GLOW THING!" during the Obsessed! Jewellery Festival in November 2025, which was curated by Les Brucelles (Silke Fleischer and Sandra Kleimberg). Unfortunately, after the installation and just before the exhibition's opening, the screen broke for unknown reasons. As the video and the screen are crucial to this project's installation, the work was removed from the exhibition. | Related Info: | Les Brucelles Artificial Intelligems Ornamutations Ornamisms |
