For Posted and Forgotten, Phillips created "GANBox 1" – a small shipping box that is also a stage for images synthesized and developed during an earlier wave of experimentation with generative adversarial networks (GANs).
Covered in imagery drawn from a personal thematic vocabulary of cosmic rivers, mountain weather, mythological creatures, and strange ecologies, the box transforms an ordinary delivery into a container for symbolic and poetic associations.
Photographed outside the artist’s home, as if newly delivered, its open form reveals a tableaux of images across every surface, each plane offering a different view into an imagined world.

bio
Noah Travis Phillips is an experimental collage artist working with their private media archive of “made, found, and modified” images to interrelate the personal, mythological, occult, cultural, and ecological. Their practice explores the posthuman and the Anthropocene through a range of digital and physical formats. In tandem, they aim to subtly insert themselves into art history by cultivating a personal legend or parafiction.
They are an artist, educator, and scholar. (BA, Naropa University, Fine Art and Environmental Studies; MFA, University of Denver, Emergent Digital Practices). They are Assistant Professor & FabLab (Z-Space) Coordinator at Rocky Mountain College of Art + Design. They have exhibited extensively locally, nationally, internationally, and virtually.
