Linda Dounia pens her own language with generative typography.

Faux Letters was born from extensive exploration of global writing systems. Linda trained a machine model on her own hand drawings of different characters. By emulating lettering from across the world, from Roman to Korean, Dounia investigated our ability to message through a machine-generated language. Arranged in a grid and rendered in eye-catching colour, each output embodies the artist's creative collision with a machine.

“At the core of this work is a question around how we communicate. It’s so ancestral and so intrinsic to our humanity – it’s what sets us apart as a species.”

Linda Dounia1 collaborationArtist and designer Linda Dounia is pioneering the movement to liberate AI. Sure, artificial intelligence is autonomous. But humans still create it, so it's steeped in prejudice, bias and imperfections. "People from the Global South, especially people of colour, using AI today can confidently attest that it doesn't know them and that its conceptualisation of their reality is fragmentary," explains Rebeiz. Through her vastly varied, energetic and ethereal artwork, Rebeiz quite literally re-writes AI from the inside out. She has an archival approach to her work, collecting information from her own life, history and culture in Senegal, which becomes data to input into GANs and algorithms which generate her work. Dounia paints too and uses images of her paintings as data sets for new algorithms. Through this process, Dounia steadily trains AI out of its current whitewashed condition.
