Jennifer and Kevin McCoy are New York-based digital media artists whose works extend from film and video to installation and generative software that uses blockchain technology to create long-term ecosystems for images to live, die, and evolve. The McCoys’ work has been featured in exhibitions at the Pompidou Center, MoMA, the British Film Institute, and the Sundance Film Festival, and is held in the collections of MoMA, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Whitney Museum, and Museum of Fine Arts in Houston. In 2014, Kevin McCoy minted the world’s first digital art NFT.

Jennifer & Kevin McCoy’s collection, Land Sea and Sky marks the artists' debut collaboration with an NFT platform following the sale of the first-ever NFT, minted by Kevin McCoy in 2014.

Expanding upon their previous work with landscapes and the built environment, Jennifer & Kevin McCoy have devised a series of enigmatic collages embedded in the vernacular of the American West.

Using formal cut-outs inspired by the compositional aesthetics of 20th-century landscape photography, the artists have created a series of landscapes derived from five databases of AI-developed source images.

Expanding upon their previous work with landscapes and the built environment, Jennifer & Kevin McCoy have devised a series of enigmatic collages embedded in the vernacular of the American West. Using formal cut-outs inspired by the compositional aesthetics of 20th-century landscape photography, the artists have created a series of landscapes derived from five databases of AI-developed source images. Using StableDiffusion, the artists generated hundreds of landscape images, which were then sorted into five different descriptive databases - Land, Sea, Mountains, Trees, and Sky. Searching these categories, custom scripts generated recombinant landscapes based on compositional structures from archetypal 20th-century landscape photographs, intertwining early 20th-century visual constructs of nature with 21st-century technology.

Activating distinct elements of each collage with image processing, the interaction of the layers juxtaposes established media processes like photography and collage with the rapidly evolving technology of AI. In the McCoys’ quest for AI-generated images that look more like memory than fantasy, their hand-crafted prompts evoke cross-country road trips, Ektachrome film, and the strange, hazy yellow-green tint of their childhood snapshots. The resulting images sit in the uncanny valley of distant memory.
