These images of the 3 major party leaders in SA
at the moment, were generated by giving prompts to midjourney. Prompts were
along the lines of: each leader's name, clay sculpture, facing right in
profile, and Pinocchio. Roy Blumenthal assisted in this process and sent
high-resolution AI generated images. These were taken into Photoshop, where the
images were stretched and manipulated to create long noses onto which their
manifestos could be hung. When Pinocchio told lies, his nose would grow. Our politicians are in a permanent state of nose
growing exacerbated by the impending elections. The final images were presented
as digital prints.
