Out of curiosity, I experimented with disrupting AI picture generation, creating chaos in the process which is always thrilling. As my fluidity in art continues, I will return to the discipline of AI.
This is how my work has evolved into alternative photographs that challenge traditional AI.
I have realized how the generative machine has disfigured, revealed, and undressed me, attempting to freeze me in its archetypal grip.
After a year of grappling with this hallucinatory machine – whose sole aim seemed to be limiting my art and my ability to subvert – it seduced me into following theories of prompts and hashtags.
I was, without fully realizing it, submitting to a system created by humans who think in terms of commonplaces, archetypes, and stereotypes, along with racism, misogyny, and the dictatorship of myths that we must analyse and transcend.
Jean-Thierry Maertens was my mentor during my adolescence.
He alone possessed the courage and clarity of mind to discuss the degradation of our current society, which has colonized, concealed, and erased the meaning of human rituals.
We find ourselves in a fractured world, obscured by the power of empty-headed leaders determined to mislead us, separate us from one another, inject us with false solutions, and deprive us of the fruits of our labour by seizing 50% of our income.
Our society has taken on a Mad Max-like atmosphere: hatred can flare up between neighbours at any moment, and people fail to honour their commitments to nature, humiliating it through countless forms of pollution. Domestic violence has reached alarming levels; children disrespect their own parents. Some teachers are being attacked, and thousands of young people are turning towards fascism, fearing for their own freedom.
Mimetic tattoos mark the skin of those who have lost their way, while fashion caters exclusively to the ultra-rich.
This dark future is accurately depicted in the Book of Revelations by St. John.
People are dying from loneliness, a lack of healthcare, and air pollution, and families are no longer united within their own communities.
The conspiracy seems to amuse the ignorant and is achieving its goals.
In 2019, the environmental movement was undermined by the COVID-19 outbreak.
In 2007, the French cell at the renowned Galerie St. Eloi—the world’s best counterterrorism unit—was dismantled by the then President, Sarkozy, who separated administrative and operational powers.
Now, we must approve Sarkozy’s light sentence of 5 years in jail. I would have preferred a more capital punishment.
The terrorist attacks of 2014 in France were his responsibility.
