An architecture and computer graphics alum returned to the Hill this summer to draw images from landscapes\u2014and memories<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By Joe Wilensky<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

When Daniel Ambrosi \u201980, BArch \u201982, MS \u201985, walks along a trail in an Ithaca-area state park with camera in hand, he is seeing these woods on multiple levels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He is recalling his previous visits to the same place, comparing new reference photos to those he took years ago\u2014and imagining what artificial intelligence will do with his meticulously crafted works once he uploads them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ambrosi is a digital artist<\/a> who constructs large-scale, panoramic prints that are enhanced by AI, which adds surprising and seemingly endless details to his creations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The resulting works are pictorial feasts that envelop the viewer\u2014comprising anything from complex geometric patterns to the vast array of imagery dreamed up by Ambrosi and his AI partner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And \u201cdream\u201d is accurate in more ways than one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
