"VOYEUR" unfolds across 500 images, each a story crafted in intimate detail. Designed to be complicated expressions of human emotion, which are then interpreted by an AI system that is designed to read images.

It is made to give a discern emotion, using a combination of machine learning via convolutional neural networks (CNNs) and large language models (LLMS)

THEMES

"VOYEUR" is about privacy at the forefront. The images explore intimate human moments, complex stories and narratives that are designed to be open ended and obtuse. These images are then interpreted by the AI VOYEUR, a cluster of multimodal AI modules, that are designed to run in a sequence to interpret the data and narrative from within the image.

INSPIRATION

My inspiration for "VOYEUR" originated from a common skepticism about AI's capacity to authentically depict human emotions and provoke thought like traditional photography or fine art. Determined to challenge and overturn these perceptions, I embarked on creating "VOYEUR." It predates and conceptually influenced my "BAPTISM" collection, underlining my commitment to demonstrate AI's potential in depthful, human-like storytelling.

Nuclear Samurai

Nuclear samurai, a fine arts graduate with a lengthy career in lifestyle photography, is well versed in the visual language of narratives in photography. He is known for his previous post-photography series "HELIUM" and "BAPTISM". These sold-out collections, known for their compelling narratives and AI produced visuals, explore themes of identity and truth. His latest work "VOYEUR" continues this exploration, offering a series of intimate AI generated images that resonate with universal constants of the human experience.
