Erin McGean, aka LifeWithArt, is a collage artist exploring memory, perception, and digital culture. Blending vintage imagery with structured fragmentation, her work reassembles the past through a contemporary lens.
Dataset
The digital Dataset works translate my physical collage practice into code. Using AI-assisted tools, public domain archives are reorganized into systems of visual rhythm and fracture. Latent images emerge, not generated but revealed through patterned interference. These works expose hidden structures within historical subjects and genres, quietly reflecting on the logic of AI training models.
