This work uses data and artificial intelligence to explore procrastination and its impact on individual and collective emotions, depicted through dynamic facial amalgamations. Amidst an increasingly complex and fast-paced social landscape, human experiences are easily diluted and diverted. Adapting to the contemporary world, the project portrays procrastination as a reflection of our society, utilizing AI to paint a comprehensive picture of the human condition. Eighty in-depth interviews on procrastination provided a nuanced understanding of the shared struggles individuals face. This research significantly influenced the project, leading to intricate ideas and occasional delays due to creative uncertainty. The cyclical nature of procrastination inspired the visual portrayal, with faces continuously morphing, reflecting the recurring patterns of procrastination. These findings were integrated into statistics and further used to create representative portraits through artificial intelligence. The focus of the work lies in the fluidity of the portrayed faces, inviting viewers to witness the intricate interplay of emotions. The deliberate motion of the blinking eyes adds depth, conveying intense feelings and vulnerability within the stillness of the portrait. The project challenges viewers to confront the ambiguity and emptiness, encouraging introspection and interpretation of their own experiences. Single Work, digital art and fine art print, framed, ink on Hahnemühle canvas.

It was during his computer science studies when he discovered his artistic interests. Since then, his interest in visual design grew as he began experimenting with different media and methods. He worked as a creative director in the Swiss and international design industry for well-known companies in the fields of technology, fashion and luxury. In the 90s, his visual language was a part of a subculture that influenced the underground scene and Swiss design of the time. Later he was a co-founder for several art and design collectives, which are still active today and graduated in design technology from the Zurich University of the Arts. As technology advanced into the digital age, the type of visual work he was making changed and expanded his artistic possibilities. He became fascinated to create something new, art that explored these different techniques. Digital art moved more and more into his focus. He wanted to express something bigger in his work, to take a critical look at the interrelationship between humans and technology. Using data collection, machine learning techniques and algorithms, He generates images and videos in a constant state of metamorphosis. Nero is an artist who invites the viewer to see the world through the eyes of a machine. He is interested in how consciousness evolves in digital space and affects daily life. His work focuses on ideas of perception and transformation through Artificial Intelligence, exploring the reciprocal relationship between humans and technology and creating works that mediate between a real and an abstract world, seemingly threading logical patterns in the midst of randomness and chance.
