“garden of eden” for the “New World” contest for @ephimera_com . Created with @james.fox.photography . The world is changing. AI is rapidly re-authoring the story of what our world looks like, and will soon re-author what it means to be human. What visions of identity will we clothe ourselves with in a transhumanist world? What stories are still important? The past, present, and future of our collective cultural identity are represented here by an early art nouveau lithograph, a face created collaboratively with Artificial Intelligence, and with @james.fox.photography ‘s macro paint photography— as the hidden world, the abstracted “qualia” that ties the 3 visions of humanity together into one story.
