Description

Nuke portrays a zoomed-out view of futuristic drug paraphernalia, tech items, and assorted brand insignias. The image has been meticulously crafted by editing together hundreds of AI-generated images.

This work is inspired by the recurring theme of fictional drugs in science fiction, such as Soma in "Brave New World" or Substance D in "A Scanner Darkly''. The image refelects on the addictive and fun qualties of AI generated content while also considering the potential risks associated with AI usage. Could an overreliance on such technologies could lead to a creatively stoned culture or indirectly imprint "big-tech" even further on our ideas?
