ARTIFICIAL WAR

A series of synthetic imagery depicting impossible scenarios from imaginary warzones.

The series of artworks showcases iconic pop figures in surreal settings that depict the destructive aftermath of war as an attempt to explore modern society’s perspective in regard to information creation and distribution.

While war wages on across borders, news media depicts bits and pieces of the events in between commercials and on-demand television series. In general, the collective nature of the images is a mesh of reality and entertainment. In turn, this produces a duality of reality versus a virtual conscious state.

Furthermore, from a technological perspective via the production of the artwork through the use of an AI image generator, much like the mind attempting to focus random thoughts into cohesive reasoning or moreover, a news story that utilizes a carefully crafted narrative to evoke emotion, synthetic imagery initiated by a text prompt rendered into visual medium has the powerful ability to become perceived reality.
