Maybe Might Matter
Whose voice does the machine carry?
The machines learned from us. Who decides how that knowledge comes back — and whose voice the answers carry? An ongoing inquiry, in pigment, sound, and the room.
The thesis
The way we have inadvertently fed these machines,
how they choose to disseminate that information,
and what it means to the future of our civilizations —
the validity of information and representation —
Maybe, Might, Matter.

·The Origin
Origin storyWhere the name came from.
The Maybes.
Before the museum show, before the talks, before any of this — I was sitting at a desk drawing faces. Black faces. Variations on the same person. (I'd been asking the machine for a Black face and getting back a stereotype. So I figured I'd give it a better starting point.) I called them The Maybes because I didn't know what they were yet.
Then I fed the sketches into Midjourney v4 and watched the machine answer back. Variation after variation. Infinite, on demand, refined to my taste, as many times as I asked. (This is the part I get asked about most. People want to know if it felt like cheating. It didn't. It felt like teaching.)
I sat there asking: maybe these matter. might these matter. do these matter.
That's the name. The probabilistic register — maybe, might — is how language models think. The conviction — matter — is mine. The brand started here, in a question I asked the machine and didn't yet have the answer to.
may. might. do. matter.
Twenty-two faces, drawn by hand. Every collection, every portrait the machine and I made after — started in this room.
02The Machine
The argumentWhat is AI? What you didn't know was already inside it.
The machine that learned from us.
Here's the short version Maybe Might Matter brings into every room: AI refers to computer systems that perform tasks usually requiring human intelligence — recognizing speech, understanding language, making decisions on complex data.
Large language models don't think. They pattern-match. They were trained on billions of documents, images, and conversations — decades of human internet activity. They learned off of us.
Then a small group of companies decided how that knowledge gets handed back. What the model will say. What it won't. Whose questions get answered first. Whose stories get surfaced. Whose voices get smoothed flat.
The machine learned from humanity.
The decision of how to give it back belongs to whoever holds the keys.
"Pretty much every big AI model just pulls off all the data it can — all the text, all the images. We're at an early point in the space, where everyone grabs everything they can, dumps it in a huge file, and kind of sets it on fire to train some huge thing. And no one really knows yet what data in the pile actually matters."
— David Holz, Midjourney founder · The Verge, 2022
But who generated that data — and who decides how it gets handed back?
03The Gap
Your face.
Your voice.
Your language.
Maybe missing.
The Gap
Bias in AI isn't malicious. It's mathematical.
What is absent from the training data is absent from the output. The same model renders professional, family, beautiful a thousand times and the defaults skew the same way every time. They aren't neutral. They were taught.
04The Work
The workFrom the museum show — every piece available as a print.
The work.
Each Maybe Might Matter piece is evidence — of what the machine sees, and what it has been taught to see. The artist is both author and subject of the experiment.

I've spoken about AI awareness, AI literacy, and creative authorship in museums, libraries, schools, and community programs. The room changes; the conversation adapts. Whoever's in your room — educators, students, curators, artists, professionals, parents, kids — there's a version of this talk for them.

A hand
at the prompt.
Twenty years behind the camera. One question in front of it. A practice that started in photography, drifted through graphic design, video, sound, and the room — and arrived, against expectation, at Maybe Might Matter.
The hands stay anonymous on purpose. The work is what we want you to recognize first. The credentials sit underneath as a constellation — proof that whoever is steering this is steering it from inside the question, not from a podium above it.
