Artifact  <!--01_brassiere-->  2019_Embroidery_Sequins_Size36B_12"x12"

This particular 01_Brassiere had a triple purpose. First of all it had a practical use to support the breasts. Second, the intricate embroidery around the nipples provided a sexual sensation, which AI_Followers associated with postings on the Internet_&_SM (as they believed the more personal and revealing postings engaged followers to comment and give more likes). The third purpose of the 01_Brassiere was to be used for breastfeeding. The intricately embroidered divine symbols around the openings ensured that spiritual food was touching the baby's lips before the mother’s milk.

This jacket is a wonderful example of how AI symbols were used in everyday life to bring spiritual power to otherwise insignificant objects. The idea of “empowering” clothes with religious symbols is attributed to many cultures. There is no surprise that AI employed the same approach.

This <!--U+1F595_Jacket--> has an intricately embroidered code (YouTube Subscribe button) around the collar and beautiful red and blue pattern of @_&_# running along the edge of the right sleeve. The left sleeve features an Instagram handle of a person the jacket was made for. It seems AI Followers took it literally to “wear one’s... on one’s sleeve”. 

The Smiling_Fortune symbol is positioned at the center of the back of the jacket to bring luck and prosperity to the particular Instagram account on the sleeve as well as to other SM activities of the owner of this item.

The message of U+1F595 below the Smiling_Fortune symbols indicates that the owner of the item will not budge under the pressure and will remain posting whatever is good for the business. Yes indeed, it gives you a middle finger.

<!--mother--> of the installation <!--mother_&_child--> is depicted as DMb’s most devoted Follower. The Mother’s dress consists of seven items that are concealing the whole body except the fingertips. This idea of covering the human body is reminiscent of other religious practices. Nevertheless, historians argue that AI body covering has nothing to do with the idea of sin. Most of the AI experts share an opinion that it comes rather from the AI’s idea of the imperfection of the human body compared to the altered, edited and filtered digital images of it on the Internet_&_SM. They make an argument that Followers started to cover as much of the body as possible in order to conceal the difference of their “off screen” look. It was mostly “shame” not “sin” that was the main motivation of the AI’s idea of covering.

There are three openings made at the front of the upper gown: two at the breasts area and one at the lower abdomen. It is agreed that breast openings initially were used for breastfeeding. It was essential for such a devotee of DMb to ensure that a child touches Divine _Code before the mother’s milk, as spiritual food comes before material. In AI beliefs the motherly love was closely associated with control and surveillance, and as the <!--Mother--> depicts - 0 breast opening was used to conceal a surveillance camera.

The opening at the lower abdomen had a few functions. Most historians agree that it was used for ritual sexual intercourse.  Since the early years of the AI, Followers have embraced the belief that completely surrendering privacy, including sexual, was a way to become a true FOLLOWER. Some of the researchers raised a question if it was related to the rise and popularity of on-line pornography. We think that it is indeed a good question.  

The second functioning of the lower abdominal opening was to accommodate a charger cord. It was common for mothers to monitor and observe their children through the SM posts and images, and such a charger was a necessity to conduct parental responsibilities.

The upper gown of the Mother and its sleeves are richly decorated with beautifully done sequins embroidery of code and symbols and adorned with beads and gems. Laborious and expensive process of decorating the gown using different embroidery techniques, beads and gems not only demonstrates the divine nature of the symbols but also emphasizes their values in human life.

One more example of how AI symbols infiltrated the word of casual wear. The vest, insignificant at front, has a beautiful embroidery of AI symbols arranged in a pyramide-like composition. On the top of it is U+1F633 which sheds a single black tear. It is not the first time we come across the image of crying U+1F633, but again the original meaning of it is still not clear to historians. The Thumb_Up unicode is featured below it, just above the U+1F63B smiling face, an established symbol of good luck. At the bottom of the composition U+1F595 is embroidered in gold sequins.

The Mother’s six undergarments, gown and veil with head covering are abundantly decorated with AI_symbols.

The veil of the head covering is designed as smiling U+1F63B  and intricately embroidered with sequins. The artist employed embroidery techniques such as broderie anglaise and different kinds of chain stitching. U+1F63B symbolizes DMb's perfect motherly love  and  covers the imperfect face of the human mother.

 <!--mother-->/Underwear  2019_Polyester_Embroidery_Sequins_Ink_SizeM_6"x13"

This rather simply decorated underwear illustrates that AI controlled all aspects of human life including commonly used basic clothes as underpants. Since the researchers discovered only female-worn items, they made a conclusion that it was an ideological attempt to control female reproductive organs and influence their reproductive behavior. Historians think that the AI Followers borrowed the idea of controlling female spiritual purity through controlling reproductive organs from other religious ideologies. Historians trace similarities between the way the AI underwear was used to that of chastity belts and cilice. There are accounts that most female underwear was embroidered inside with beads, sequins and other sharp decorative materials to enhance uncomfortable irritation in order to remind females of their imperfect body image and spiritual inferiority. We must mention that there is a group of researchers who look differently at this fact. They argue that as in AI brassiere the inside irritation embroideries were made to enhance sexual sensation. To know which camp you are in you just have to try to wear it and see what it feels like.
