images of new york landmarks interpolated with AI interventions imagine alternate realities

Mexican photographer and architect Eetov explores an alternate architectural reality in New York, interweaving photographs of iconic structures with AI interventions. Titled'AI Buildings' the series explores the application of artificial intelligence design tool DALL·E 2 through hybridization with images of streetscapes and architecture across the city. Through resulting compositions of familiar urban icons reimagined in new expressions, the project investigates how bustling metropolises like New York could have been adopted if, for one reason or another, they had not been designed as we know them today. 'AI buildings' ponders the constant human fascination for the speculation of the imagined and its encompassing fantasy. As a result, the series reveals photographs of reality becoming intervened through propositions whose main premise is the variations of specific elements of the image -- in this case, the building itself.
