The Ancestral Intelligence art series by Anishinaabe artist Quinn Hopkins is a collection of digital artworks created using a machine learning algorithm. Hopkins believes that the algorithm allows him to communicate with ancestral spirits, and that the artworks themselves are imbued with the wisdom and knowledge of these ancestors. The series is comprised of abstract images that Hopkins says are inspired by the patterns and colors of traditional Anishinaabe art. Each work is unique, and Hopkins hopes that viewers will be able to see the ancestral spirits that he says are present in the work.
Quinn Hopkins (b. 1998) is an artist inspired by new, innovative technologies - connecting them with the land and his roots as an Anishinaabe person. He utilizes techniques such as 3D modeling, digital drawing, editing, creative coding and machine learning as he collaborates with the computer to research, design and create his artworks. His interests are focused on developing new ways to visualize the spirit of the land to reveal the many truths about humanity's relationship with the land. He is not afraid to experiment with new tools and mediums which has led him to create augmented reality art, virtual reality art and non-fungible token art in the past year; that attracted national attention from the media. Hopkins has appeared on CBC The National and Breakfast Television, as well as featured in an article on CBC Indigenous. As a student at OCAD University, Hopkins is young and enthusiastic about his art's ability to inspire action. He is using his resources to build a more equitable space for Indigenous artists in NFT spaces, advocating for Indigenous Sovereignty and decolonization.
