Overview
Twenty years after its release (2022), the futuristic thriller “Minority Report” remains a fascinatingly immersive movie as we continue to grapple with tech’s pervasive and too often insidious influence.
The story centers around three characters, called Precog mutants or simply Precogs, who have the ability to see crimes before they happen. Precogs are beings who are partly biological, partly digital.
WHA's inspiration began by trying to find answers to the question: What if... with the extinction of their jobs the 3 Precogs are moved to a rural cottage where they continue their lives in freedom and peace?
This Genesis Series at SuperRare, constituted by 3 artworks (Good Morning, Good Afternoon and Good Night), reflect what the lives of the three Precogs could be in that future, in a regular summer at their home, in an "undisclosed location".
WHArtificial Intelligence #1 - Good Morning
"WHArtificial Intelligence #1 - Good Morning", could also have the title "NFT displayed on the wall of the Precogs' living room".
A colourful and animated NFT displayed on the wall of Precogs' living room, next to the table where they enjoy breakfast every single day. At night the piece works as a lighthouse.
The artwork has a lot of symbolic meaning, in this new phase of their lives. As a lifeline, which provides a means of escape from difficult situations... and that reminds them that a life has past, present and future.
This artwork is also the Genesis piece of the author on SuperRare at MOCA x SR Space.
WHArtificial Intelligence #2 - Good Afternoon
"WHArtificial Intelligence #2 - Good Afternoon", could also have the title "Precog’s face reflection in water".
Reflection of a Precog’s face in the pool water, on a summer day, while one is floating and other is reading the poem “Do not go gentle into that good night” by Dylan Thomas:
“Do not go gentle into that good night,
Old age should burn and rave at close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.”
(…)
WHArtificial Intelligence #3 - Good Night
"WHArtificial Intelligence #3 - Good Night", could also have the title "Precog's dream of a crypto currency bull run".
That night the three Precogs had dinner, and they talked about literature and in particular the meaning of the book "Don Quixote" by Miguel de Cervantes, and the influence of the book on the literary community, as evidenced by direct references in Alexandre Dumas' "The Three Musketeers", Mark Twain's "Adventures of Huckleberry Finn", and Edmond Rostand's "Cyrano de Bergerac"...
After that they went to sleep and one of the Precogs dreamed of a crypto currency bull run.
Each artwork was produced using Artificial Intelligence as a collaborative tool, after the input artworks were created with author’s creation method and generative process as well.
All scenarios and plots of each one of the pieces are creations by WHA emphasizing the human side of the Precogs.
WHA - preserve our humanity
“I true believe that we are creating a new civilization, and authors must contribute actively to this new way, to preserve our humanity by creating art that provokes new feelings.”
