RACHY MCEWAN


Rachy McEwan is an interdisciplinary artist and researcher based in London. She graduated with a First Class BA in Painting and Printmaking from The Glasgow School of Art (2020), receiving the RSA New Contemporaries Award, and earned a Distinction in her MA in Material Futures at UAL: Central Saint Martins (2024), where she was shortlisted for the Maison/0 LVMH Maison Award.

Her practice combines art and technology to create systems and experiences exploring urban ecology, interactivity, and the ways audiences engage with both digital and physical environments. Working across painting, programming, 3D imaging, and interactive design, she develops experimental platforms that encourage reflection on human-environment relationships, technological processes, and participatory engagement.

Rachy challenges traditional approaches to perception, bridging natural, artificial, and non-human worlds. Collaborating across disciplines including engineering, arboriculture, and science, her work blends technical experimentation with conceptual inquiry, offering new ways to understand and interact with contemporary ecological, technological, and urban systems.

REVELATION
2024


https://www.bible-studies.glitch.me/Artificial intelligence has become a common topic in various levels of society. Some are concerned about the future of it, meanwhile, others speculate on its current usage. Nevertheless, there is something many are overlooking which is the different data sets that this new intelligence is being fed. 

Revelation is an interactive installation whose purpose is to show the impact of specific datasets on an AI. This installation takes place as a confessionary where you can talk with God. The Revelations God is an AI that was trained on a confined dataset; the Bible. The process consisted of fine-tuning a neural network originally developed by Open.AI.

To conclude, the Revelations confessional box is intended to provoke the user’s curiosity as to where data comes from and who’s behind it.  One can compare confessing their sins to a priest, to willingly releasing all their information to tech companies. Alternatively, it can also be compared to a parody of a conversation with a fanatic.
