THIS SERIES AIMS TO EXPLORE THE RELATIONSHIP
BETWEEN AN AI PROMPT, DIGITAL COLLAGE AND SOME HAND WORK ON A PRINTED CANVAS
THE ARTWORKS ARE PROMPTED AND DESIGNED FROM THE PERSPECTIVE THAT THE AI WILL NEVER BE ABLE TO BE HUMAN. SOMETIMES I WONDER WHEN I LOOK AT THE WORLD AROUND ME AND HOW WE TREAT EACH OTHER ON THIS PLANET, OTHER HUMANS, I CAN'T HELP BUT THINK TO MYSELF, WHAT WORSE CAN THE AI DO TO US?... LOOK AT HOW WE HATE ON EACH OTHER, KILL EACH OTHER AND THE LIST GOES ON. BECAUSE OF OUR PROGRAMMED DIFFERENCES. WHY ARE WE WORRIED ABOUT THE PROGRAMMING OF THE AI? WE SHOULD BE WORRIED ABOUT OUR OWN PROGRAMMING, THE PROGRAMMING THAT CAUSES US TO BEHAVE THIS WAY TOWARDS EACH OTHER. ONCE WE HAVE SORTED THAT OUT, WE CAN WORRY ABOUT THE AI, BECAUSE THEN NOTHING "BAD" WILL BE ABLE TO AFFECT US ANYWAY.......WE WILL HAVE EACH OTHERS BACKS AS A UNITED HUMANITY.
IN THE MEANTIME, IT IS MY OPINION THAT WHENEVER WE ARE WORKING WITH THE AI WE NEED TO MAKE SURE WE PROGRAM IT WITH THE KIND OF WORLD WE WANT TO SEE, LET IT HELP US MANIFEST A WORLD WHERE WE ALL LIVE IN LOVE, PEACE AND UNITY, ABOVE OUR PROGRAMMED DIFFERENCES.
THE ARTWORKS ARE BLUE MANNEQUIN DOLLS REPRESENTING THE "AI", THE COLLAGE WORK IS HUMAN ELEMENTS INTERACTING WITH THE DOLLS AS IF THEY ARE THE HUMAN ELEMENTS THAT THE AI OR IT WISHES IT WAS.
THE ARTWORKS ARE TO BE PRINTED ON HIGH QUALITY CANVAS MATERIAL, SO THAT EXTRA STITCHING AND A EXTRA LAYER OF PHYSICAL HAND WORK CAN BE DONE ON IT, TO ADD MORE HUMAN ELEMENTS.
THE WORKS ON THIS PAGE IS WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO PRESENT. I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO DO A MUSIC VIDEO OR A "DIGITAL ART SOUND JOURNEY" WITH A COMBINATION OF THE DOLLS THAT FORM PART OF THE "CARDIO" OR "AEROBICS" SERIES, YOU WILL SEE THEM MARKED UNDER "CARDIO". THE SONG FOR THE JOURNEY IS CALLED "EK WENS EK WAS 'N MENS" THERE ARE TWO VERSIONS, A SLOW ACOUSTIC VERSION AND A REMIX. THEY ARE BELOW TO LISTEN TO.
THE VIDEOS AREN'T COMPLETE AND WILL BE COMPLETED IN TIME FOR THE EXHIBITION, THIS PAGE WILL SHOW EXAMPLES OR THE MOOD FOR THEM. IDEALLY THE IMAGES OF PRINTED ARTWORKS SHOULD BE PRESENT IN THE SOUND JOURNEYS, IN OTHER WORDS, THEY COME ALIVE IN THE JOURNEYS ON THE PLASMA SCREEN, TO BE EXPERIENCED WITH HEADPHONES.
A FEW OF THE BELOW PIECES HAVE A VIDEO THAT TAKES YOU ON A SOUND JOURNEY THROUGH THE ELEMENTS. I WILL MARK THEM WITH A VIDEO ICON.THE VIDEO ICON WILL ALSO TAKE YOU TO MY INSTAGRAM PAGE WHERE OTHER VIDEOS ARE ALSO AVAILABLE TO VIEW.
