THIS IS NOT A DRILL

graphic design, midjourney ai, narrative futures, photography

This project aims to harness the power of Midjourney - a powerful artificially intelligent text-prompted image generator - to analyze a powerful socio-aesthetic phenomenon. During the 20th Century, the commercialization of communication and visualization equipment, as well as post-WWII recovery led to something of an obsession with imagery of war. From John Steinbeck to Ernest Hemingway to Hollywood and comic books, war was at the forefront of representation. In “THIS IS NOT A DRILL,” the intersection of this cultural phenomena and AI allows often disorienting and always fascinating compositions to form. As a reminder, this is an exercise in fiction and speculative worldbuilding.
