About

I’m Nina, a multidisciplinary artist and DJ from Amsterdam.
 

I’ve been working with generative AI since 2021. For two years I worked with AI every day, constantly researching, experimenting and exploring what these new tools could do. During this time, I generated thousands of images locally, experimenting with different models, workflows and techniques.

​

This early involvement led to me receiving alpha and beta access to AI models from companies including OpenAI, Stable Diffusion and Midjourney. With OpenAI, I was part of a group of around 50 AI artists who were invited to test and provide feedback on their image-generation models.
 

My fascination with computers creating art eventually led me to use AI for my graduation project. I graduated summa cum laude in Image & Media Technology from the University of the Arts Utrecht with Purgatory, an AI-generated video installation.

​

Currently I’m the designer for music label Nerve Collect.

In my work I see AI as part of a broader artistic process rather than simply the end result. I don’t like to leave an image as it comes straight out of a prompt; I prefer to push it further, experiment with it and make it feel more personal. I often combine AI with analog scans and other elements to create work that feels distinctly my own.

​

I’m highly detail-oriented in my process and can spend days working on a single artwork, making small adjustments and experimenting with different possibilities until everything feels right.

​

Alongside my own artistic practice I share my knowledge and experience through classes, presentations and workshops at various companies and educational institutions.
