CONSOLE COWBOY

"A year here and he still dreamed of cyberspace, hope fading nightly.”
— William Gibson, Neuromancer

CONSOLE COWBOY is a collection of Post-Photography imagery depicting cowboys created using artificial intelligence assistance and digital post-processing techniques, aiming to capture their enigmatic aura.

These images provoke a sense of uncanniness, challenging viewers to confront their own understanding of consciousness and the concept of a soul in the context of the iconic cowboy figure as a purely digital manifestation.

The artwork symbolizes not only humanity’s ability to conquer and coexist with nature but also highlights the cowboy’s archetype as a symbol of rugged individualism, adventure, and the unexplored frontiers of the human mind and cyberspace.

The profound intersection of ideation and technology is emphasized through the fusion of traditional cowboy imagery with cutting-edge AI techniques, offering a unique exploration of the enigmatic essence that characterizes Western culture and the cowboy spirit.
