In "Cursed", Charlie Engman harnesses generative AIโs uncanny distortions of the physical world to explore the pleasure, humour, and horror of the body. This captivating portfolio of images unpicks AIโs characteristic gap between expectation and outcome, challenging our preconceptions of how the world should be and appear. Can simulation and collective knowledge drive innovation and individuation, or does the recycling of images and ideas doom us to repeat our failures? Can AIโs detachment from reality illuminate the blessing and the curse of โreal lifeโ?
