This was my college Senior Thesis at the Seerveld Gallery in Palos Heights, which explored this hierarchy of Creation. If God created intelligent humans, and we in-turn create artificial intelligence, are we not also creators? Can a creation ever succeed its creator? We will never surpass God, but can A.I. surpass us? How can a creation become higher than its creator? Why can we never reach the highs of God, yet A.I. can reach the highs of humans?

This is the completed Senior Thesis I created. I took my illustration and added animation which was displayed via projector, and later, on a high-definition vertical LED display.

Creator installation
49 x 29 Inches
This was installed on March 23 2019 in the Seerveld Gallery at Trinity Christian College in Palos Heights, IL. A projector was installed on the ceiling to prevent the projector from being covered by guests. The wall projection was covered with black, light-absorbing, Gaft tape to give a border and increase viewing contrast. A sound Bubble was also installed over-head to project sound created by myself. The sound was a looping ambient track created in Adobe Audition.
Original concept
When i was thinking through my concept for Creator, I sketched this idea I had of a hierarchy of creators. While i had several ideas, this is the one i chose to adapt for my thesis.
Original concept 2
A refined version which I presented to my class for critique. I took the feedback and ideas and got to work towards the finished product.

The final vectorized design of Creator. This helps shows the complexities of the animation work.
