Electric Dreams of Ukiyo
Electric Dreams of Ukiyo draws a parallel between the arrival of AI in our world and the introduction of electricity in traditional Japan. Each artwork is generated using Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) on hundreads of thousands of japanese prints. Each character embodies a specific stance towards innovation while each landscape is rooted in a fictional legend. Through this fusion, the series reimagines the floating world of Ukiyo as a world caught between tradition and transformation.
