UTOPIA 2524

“Maybe we all need to stop and look at the world like a bear sometimes. Let's learn to pause and enjoy it. Maybe the quiet comfort of this polar bear is just what you need today.”

   

:: UTOPIA2524 is an AI digital work that imagines a future where nature is the master of the planet;

It may be more science fiction than a future where robots and technology rule the world;

With the proliferation of AI-generated images and rapid technological advancements, people are able to create any image imaginable, but we can also get tired of being bombarded with meaningless, complex, and bizarre images.

AI image generators are often viewed negatively, but they can also enable us to do good.

To actually stage and shoot photos like these, you have to trap and train animals, use lots of fabric and plastic to make props, and the environmental impact of using transportation to get to the location cannot be ignored.

AI-generated images have given people the freedom to express themselves, but the more we do so, the more we need to take time to reflect on the important things in life that are easy to miss.

Thank you.
