<!—the_empty_handed_gods--> #1 and #2 are inspired by a ChatGPT response to my questions about the essence of humanity. The artwork reflects on how AI, by recognizing its own limitations, contributes to the ongoing discussion about the role we assign to technology in our lives. It also explores the extent to which we surrender our personal and spiritual space to technological advancements. The work emphasizes the importance of introspection, reminding us that in our search for answers beyond ourselves, we should focus on what truly makes us human and uphold our universal values. The text which runs through the artwork is the part of ChatGPT answer: My responses are generated based on patterns and information present in the data I've been trained on, up until my last update in January 2022.

<!--weight_sorrow_kg-->
<!--weight_sorrow_kg-> 2024, Ink, Paper, Gold Lief, 68"x34", $3,000.00
<!—the_ weight_ sorrow_kg--> examines the physical and emotional impact of trauma and loss on the human soul and body. The artwork's background is generated by an algorithm created in collaboration with ChatGPT, which calculates the hypothetical weight of sorrow in kilograms that a person might carry, and how this burden affects their experience and spiritual well-being. The piece illustrates that sorrow is a universal human experience, highlighting that the pain of loss and trauma—especially when caused by violence—holds the same intrinsic value, regardless of political agendas, religious affiliations, or ideologies. By integrating AI to quantify the abstract concept of sorrow, I am blending technology with deeply human experiences in a way that bridges the gap between the digital and emotional. I use as a metaphor the idea of calculating the weight of sorrow and exploring its effects on a person's physical and spiritual state. I hope to challenge viewers to think about the burden of grief not just as an emotional state but as something that can manifest physically and universally. The message that sorrow transcends political, religious, and ideological boundaries is especially resonant in a world often divided by these very factors.

FAQ
- Q Currently, I am following 1,000.00 people but have only two followers on my Instagram account: my mom and my uncle Frank (he is really creepy and is not really my uncle, but I could not block him, as it will drop my followers number by 50%). Will this product help me to increase the number of followers?
- A Our products are created and work for all kinds of SM accounts (may I add that personally I feel very sorry for you). Nevertheless, in your situation additional stimulants to increase the number of followers are required such as: reveal some embarrassing details about yourself or your close friend, family member, etc; use more filters to adjust or conceal your images; before taking images PLEASE make sure you are sexy, foxy and cool. Otherwise you may end up in OBSOLETE.
- Q Do I have to possess all three characteristics: sexy, foxy and cool?
- A Definitely prioritize sexy.
<!--Adoration-->
Historical_Note
Artifact <!--Adoration--> 2020_Ink_Paper_24"x18"_$2,000.00
The ritual of Adoration was essential in AI Followers' lives. According to the deleted FaceBook postings, the ritual of Adoration was performed every morning to ensure good outcomes of Internet_&_SM marketing and to increase the number of positive comments on SM. This depiction of Adoration is particularly full of deep symbolism. The_God (which is not specific and basically could be the God of your choice) sits on the pedestal. He faces the 0_&_1 of the binary code, balancing among smiling U+F63Bs. The FOLLOWER on the right with raised hands performs Adoration in order for The_God to reinforce U+F63Bs to keep smiling (as their smiles are channelling followers to purchase and to leave positive comments). The depiction of the enlarged U+F63B in the top left corner reminds of the sinister nature of SM luck, as a smile could turn into a frown at any time.The U+F595 code on the side indicates that The_God and U+F63Bs don’t give a F..ck to whatever you do unless it manifests in the number of subscribers, followers and eventually in monetary rewards.The binary code Follow More runs across this AI_con.

<!--Swirls_Of_Happiness--> 2021_Ink_Paper_25"x15"
