The content
The content
This story is delivered in chunks. As important things happen in the story, new scenes become available to read.
The aesthetic
The core aesthetic was a deliberate step away from the too-perfect work which can hide AI art. The aesthetic we wanted was raw, real and noticeably imperfect, in the ways that an AI struggles to mimic and a human struggles to remove.
Storyline artists
We had artists from Spain, Brazil, Indonesia and South Korea produce their version of the core aesthetic.
Each artist was given a particular storyline which will be represented by their personal style.
