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 single day, constantly researching, experimenting and exploring what these new tools could do. During this time, I generated thousands of images locally and became deeply immersed in the technology.

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.
