INTIMACY ENTANGLED WITH ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE.
DEC. 2024
ACRYLIC ON CANVAS
18" x 24"
THIS PIECE WAS INSPIRED BY TERRIFYING INFILTRATION OF AI IN EVERY ASPECT OF THE WORLD -- EVEN ON A LEVEL AS DEEPLY PERSONAL AS SEXUALITY.
MY GOAL WAS TO CREATE AN IMAGE THAT SPARKS BOTH FEAR AND WONDER, MAKING THE VIEWER REFLECT ON THE PRESENCE OF TECHNOLOGY IN SPACES WE ONCE CONSIDERED UNIQUELY HUMAN.
SIMULTANEOUSLY, I AIMED TO KEEP THE SUBJECT MATTER SLIGHTLY COMEDIC AND THOUGHT-PROVOKING, RATHER THAN PURELY DYSTOPIAN.
*IMAGE GENERATORS SUCH AS OPEN AI AND PERCHANCE WERE USED TO INFLUENCE REFERENCE IMAGERY AND TEXT IMPLEMENTED INTO THE PAINTING. ALL WORK ON THE CANVAS IS HAND-PAINTED.*
