This is the day he spends with his family.
Highlights: Hat.
What does it mean to truly exist?
Beyond Humans is an NFT collection with AI-generated images of people that didn’t exist, until I gave them an emotional value.
What intrigues me the most about AI-generated content is how one-sided the creative process is, and how it depends 100% on the spectator. For the artist (the machine), these images are nothing but bits and data.
The emotional value of the artwork only exists after the work is done, and it is created by each of us. The AI provides an image, it’s up to us to give it value. By giving random names and life stories to these BeyondHumans, I’m trying to force an emotional attachment to something unreal.
Each BeyondHuman has their lives dictated by us. If their image gets deleted, these people go back into the data oblivion. This collection is a way of keeping them alive.
Images created with StyleGAN2, text with GPT-3.
