AI OBJ

Humans are no longer the subject within AI. They have become keywords, units of learned bias, and objects summoned within the process of image generation.

This work visualizes the condition of humanity as perceived by AI. Human beings are no longer understood as entities with emotions and context, but are reduced to visual elements that can be combined, repeated, and reconstructed.

However, this phenomenon does not remain confined to AI systems alone. In reality, humans themselves are gradually being transformed into functional objects. The moment judgment and thought are delegated to external systems, humanity enters a process of self-objectification.

This work raises a question:

Do we still exist as subjects,
or have we already been reconstructed as objects?
