About Cursed
In Cursed, Charlie Engman harnesses generative AI’s uncanny distortions of the physical world to explore the pleasure, humour, and horror of the body. This captivating portfolio of images unpicks AI’s 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 AI’s detachment from reality illuminate the blessing and the curse of “real life”?
