Any Warhol Bags is part of an ongoing series querying the hierarchy of classifications embedded in AI tools, in dialog with influences of contemporary art. These pictures were machine-generated with an initial image of one of Andy Warhol’s Camouflage Self-Portrait.
Linked to the series Any Warhol, Animal, Vegetable, Mineral, which audits the general taxonomies underpinning AI tools, this series examines the representation of materials by the diffusion models through the lens of portraiture. Each plastic bag portrait is unique and yet recognizably the same.
