‘I hope this message finds you well’ exposes the unsettling realities of deep fakes and surveillance culture, revealing the erasure of sex, democracy, and how it exposes collective trauma in our human landscape. Employing GAN faces and retina scans, the piece transforms the human form into a chilling embodiment of the techno-consensual era. Phenotype-faces merge into a single human entity that absorbs programmed emotions. Hypnotic eyes are wet with tech-gaze. Body-tech scans of the artist serve as reminders that we’re all unwilling subjects when we step outside. One can clearly sense the weight of political erasure, big money gaslighting, and the post-pandemic ‘shitification’ that underscores, numbs, and manipulates our thoughts and emotions. Ultimately, the message challenges and questions our perception of real human truths vs politico-digital manipulations merely disguised as manufactured proto-human aspirations.
