Within the confines of a surreal and desolate office, distorted faces reside, intricately fused with machinery. Melting electronics litter the surroundings, scattering haphazardly. Amidst the evolving AI technology, the toil and sacrifices of human labor have been forsaken and overlooked.
Don’t fall into the technology trap!
In this collection of AI artwork, I envision a haunting realm where machines thrive by devouring the essence of humanity. We find ourselves submerged in a digital world, where individuals spanning from the young to the elderly are inexorably drawn into the unstoppable march of powerful AI advancements. Yet, there exists no enchantment within the dominion of AI; only the neglected endeavors of humankind remain. Our privacy and data are persistently harvested to train machines, fueling their pursuit of progress, ideally or worsely, being more like humans.
UGLYKIKI is a multimedia artist who transcends reality through imaginary and metaphysical artworks. With a keen focus on exploring the concept of human existence and the relationships between nature and technology, her art delves deep into the realm of the metaverses. Through a range of multimedia practices including drawing, video art and XR, UGLYKIKI has skillfully explored the transformation of cultural symbols and their manifestation in diverse dimensions such as physical realities, cyberspaces, and psychological states.
The artist's drawings are particularly noteworthy for their ability to convey intangible experiences and relationships that extend beyond the physical world. UGLYKIKI's use of energetic and flowing lines serves to draw viewers into a secret inner temple, where they can immerse themselves in a magical universe.
UGLYKIKI's artworks have been showcased at international exhibitions, including the "Art in Flux: Radical Embodiment" exhibit at the Barbican Center in London, the "Octobre Numerique-Faire Monde Art Festival" in France, and the "Kaohsiung Young Art" show at the Pier 2 Art Center in Kaohsiung, Taiwan.
