MACHINE FORMS IS AN ONGOING VISUAL RESEARCH PROJECT BY IBRAR THAT EXPLORES THE INTERSECTION OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE, DESIGN, AND HUMAN INTUITION. BORN FROM A DAILY PRACTICE OF EXPERIMENTATION, IT EXAMINES HOW PROMPTS, MODELS, AND IMPULSE INTERACT TO CREATE NEW FORMS OF VISUAL THINKING.

ROOTED IN A DESIGNER’S DISCIPLINE AND AN ARTIST’S CURIOSITY, MACHINE FORMS TREATS AI AS BOTH TOOL AND MUSE; A SYSTEM CAPABLE OF MIMICRY, ACCIDENT, AND EMERGENCE. EACH IMAGE IS BUILT FROM AN ITERATION LOOP, WHERE ERROR AND INTENTION BECOME INDISTINGUISHABLE. THE RESULTING OUTPUTS FEEL AT ONCE DIGITAL AND HUMAN, PRECISE AND DREAMLIKE, ALGORITHMIC AND EMOTIONAL.

THE PROJECT FUNCTIONS AS A STUDY IN PROCESS OVER PERFECTION, A REFLECTION ON HOW CREATIVITY EVOLVES WHEN CONTROL IS SHARED. MACHINE FORMS IS NOT ABOUT REPLACING THE HAND; IT’S ABOUT REDISCOVERING IT THROUGH CODE, PATTERN, AND CHAOS; TURNING MACHINES INTO MIRRORS OF 
HUMAN THOUGHT.
