In his work "Very charming animals - HUMANS", the swiss artist Augustin Rebetez explores artificial intelligence and manipulates algorithmically-generated portraits, creating fictitious human beings whom he then subjects to bloody artistic surgery with Photoshop.
Which is more monstrous, the artificial intelligence or the artist's work?
Halfway between reality and fiction, digital and DIY, creepy and darkly humorous, Bruce Gilden and Cindy Sherman, these portraits are funny, powerful and hard-hitting. Showcased in an elegant book with radical graphics by swiss agency NORM that reinforce the darkness, brutality and strength of this dark and repulsive artistic work.
