Art

Although I have a rather positive attitude towards “artificial intelligence” and use it myself, I also see risks including human self-destruction.
With this image I express my fears about a possible future with AI.

A naked woman in front of a coffin surrounded by flames.

For me, the natural woman is a symbol for people; However, the person already has cyborg-like traits. Aren't we already caught up and infected by the hype surrounding AI?

The coffin, which partially overlaps the person as if they were already in the coffin, and the superimposed flames deliberately create the impression of a crematorium. Is humanity currently burying itself?

The eyes are dark, only one eye can be seen at all - are we in the picture and can't see what's happening?

The speed of change is symbolized by a deliberate blurring of movement in the body. Only the forehead/mind with the eyes were excluded because we (still) try to understand and control everything.

In addition, the color design gives the whole picture a “cinematic look”, like something out of a science fiction film. The contrasts of light and shadow on the person give the impression that parts may already have been burned. Overall, the color choice was not harmonious, but rather repulsive and disturbing. This is not intended to be a "pretty" picture, but rather to make you think.

Consequently, I adjusted the image according to the topic according to my specifications with the help of AI and then revised it in terms of shape, color and design. I also added additional image layers.

Print:

a) Printout on high-quality aluminum composite with profile suspension
60cm x 40cm
Thanks to the latest generation of UV direct printing with 7 colors including "light colors", the matt surface of the aluminum composite shines in absolutely rich colors and subtleties are displayed in high resolution down to the last detail. The pictures come with a pre-assembled profile suspension and are approximately 1 cm away from the wall. This gives your mural a floating look.

b) Printed on high-quality fine art photo paper from Hahnemühle:
Photo Rag Metallic 340
29.7cm x 21cm (including edge up to 5 mm)
with white stripes at the top and bottom, because the image format is 3x2, printed on DIN A4
Delivery is without frame - sample images are for illustrative purposes only

Shipment

All images are usually printed directly after ordering. If an external printing service provider is involved in the creation, the delivery time can increase to up to 2 weeks.

Delivery is free of charge.

Treatment & Care

The print is applied with high quality ink on high quality art paper. To ensure longevity, the image should be protected from direct sunlight.

It is recommended that you only touch the pictures with gloves.

Only pictures made of acrylic glass can be cleaned with a clean, damp cloth without pressure.

Never expose unprotected prints to water. This destroys the surface.
