An algorithm - for present purposes - is a finite set of instructions for accomplishing some task, which transforms an initial starting condition into a recognizable end condition. Allegories are, similarly, transformations from one connotation or understanding to another. Allegory is a metaphorical narrative strategy in which a person or object signifies something else . Algorithms hybridize with allegories and become allegorithms.
With archetypal and mythic subject matter #Allegorithms circumambulates a convergence between the meaning that I, as a human and artist make, and the meaning that algorithmic systems make. The algorithmic acts as an instrument for exploring a highly subjective image archive that I have hunted & gathered from the internet for more than two decades now. #Allegorithms is an exercise in cultivating creativity and agency, in relationship with these algorithmic systems.
