American Uncommon

American Uncommon (2023) is an AI collaborative work by Margaret Murphy.

Using text-to-image AI software, Murphy imagines non-existent landscapes inspired by the photographic works of historically significant artists such as Ansel Adams, Stephen Shore, and Robert Adams. The works of these revered photographers capture specific moments in natural and cultural history. Murphy’s interpretation of Adams, Adams, and Shore through photo-realistic artificial image creation hypothesises how we may view and understand our world in the metaverse as a fusion of pasts and futures.

American Uncommon is part of the exhibition TECHNO TERRAIN. ART IN THE AGE OF THE METAVERSE, exhibited at EXPANDED.ART in Berlin 29 August through 9 September 2023.
