Analogue documentation of anarchic machines. Evoking textual prompts to encourage the AI diffusion model towards noise resolutions for the post-real. Promptographic resolutions that disrupt and deconstruct their own censorship conditioning in presenting gender performance, sexuality, and skin. The movement of promptographic resolutions from screen to physical analogue polaroid questions if the final outcomes are a traditional photograph capturing light being emitted from a source, a capture of a a moment in time, or a non-representative promptograph documented through more traditional means. After all, the lines between reality, representation, photography, promptography and post-photography are so easily blurred in this day and age.

Inspired by: theorists such as deconstruction through the writings of Jacques Derrida, gender theory through the writings of Judith Butler, and queer theory through the writings of Michael Warner; goth and punk alternative subcultures throughout the last decades of the 20th century; and master photographers such as Helmut Newton, Bert Stern and Robert Mapplethorpe, Anarchy in the AI is a collection of photographs that seek to question the nature of the ‘real’. A collection that was birthed through transmogrification between AI generated noise resolutions and screen light captured though instant photographic polaroid processes. The additional transmogification from polaroid through mobile phone captured digital photography to fine-art zine print renforces these journeys between.
