LIA It Is Black It Is White It Is Yellow (Fragment) 2025 In 2007, LIA created It Is Black It Is White, a generative art piece defined by its stark contrast of black and white, a minimalist yet complex exploration of form and structure. Coded algorithms give shape to patterns expressing a purity of form that emerges absent color or shades of gray. Nearly two decades later, LIA has revisited this piece. It Is Black It Is White It Is Yellow marks a bold departure from its predecessor. Bridging past and present, LIA harnesses the power of artificial intelligence to reinterpret the original piece. By training a LoRA on carefully chosen stills from the 2007 work, LIA drives machine learning to recreate her distinctive style while introducing new, vibrant colors. The result is a fusion of the black-and-white simplicity of the original with a fluid, watercolor-like quality introduced stochastically and statistically by the machine learning algorithms. The essence of LIA's artistic vision is preserved, but it emerges now augmented with the mathematical reduction of the entire visual content of the internet. Despite the LoRA process forcing the AI to adapt to LIA's style, it nevertheless insists that she add color. As with all of LIA's oeuvre, the interplay between code and human creativity is central to this work. Reaching back into her own past but (this time) allowing the machine to win, LIA reiterates her stance that the process is just as significant as the final image - pushing the boundaries of generative art once again. This is a fragment of the larger work exhibited on Schlosser Media Wall at the Museum of the Moving Image, as part of Compositions in Code, in partnership with the Tezos Foundation.
