Unpacified,
Simulating multiple fashion scenes through the use of Diffusion Models to speculate about possible street expressions that could have emerged if indigenous cultures had continued to exist and influence cities. This series bases the image generation in New York, leveraging the vast amount of training data available as a comparative element to re-imagine the vibrant aesthetics, intricate patterns, and unique designs that might have influenced urban environments and people if the massive levels of cultural erasure had not occurred. By blending contemporary visual data with speculative indigenous expressions, the work invites viewers to explore a tapestry of styles that celebrate resilience and cultural fusion, while also examining how modern technology interprets the morphologies and expressions of indigenous cultures in a possible thriving future.
