Art Restart Podcast: Damian Stamer
Since the advent of artificial intelligence and its astonishing image-generating capacities,
artists have been both disturbed and fascinated by it. Painter Damian Stamer is an
ideal guide through of a deeper exploration of how AI might radically reshape the
act of making art and the role of the artist in society.
Known for transforming photographs of abandoned barns and rural landscapes into luminous, memory-laden canvases, Damian has begun experimenting with AI-generated images as source material for his paintings. In this episode of the Art Restart podcast, he reflects on how working with AI has deepened his understanding of intuition, authorship and faith in an age increasingly defined by machines.
