Sessions, 2025 | Digital drawings | 6600 x 5100 px, png
Sessions marks a deepening of Sara Ludy’s long-standing investigation into intuition, perception, and the unseen. Though she has practiced remote viewing for over a decade, this is the first time she has used its protocols to generate artworks directly—with AI serving as the tasker. In remote viewing, one responds to a randomly assigned coordinate, unaware of what it refers to, recording impressions that arrive through clair senses. Acting as both artist and viewer, Ludy channels these impressions in response to an unseen target, allowing each session to guide the unfolding of the piece.
Each drawing becomes a perceptual artifact—an attempt to translate unseen information into physical form. Together they form an open archive, an evolving body of research into perception, consciousness, and image-making. The works vary widely: some align uncannily with their unseen targets, while others diverge entirely, revealing the elasticity of intuition itself. In their range, they chart the rhythm of perception—its precision, humor, and inevitable drift.
The series also considers how abstraction functions when it arises not merely from spontaneity but from an intentional form of intuition—a disciplined receptivity shaped through psychic perception. By foregrounding the act of sensing as a creative process, Sessions repositions drawing as both divinatory and embodied—maps of consciousness trying to know itself. Connected to the phenomenon of precognition, the series continues Ludy’s lifelong exploration of psi and intuition, allowing the work to emerge from what is felt before it is known.
