The rise of AI art presents a moral dilemma for many, including journalist exploring its place in creativity. Artist Niceaunties stands out by embracing AI to create artworks that celebrate Asian culture through the concept of the 'Auntieverse.' Her work captures the complexities of traditional and modern identities of Asian aunties, illustrating their often misunderstood roles in society. Niceaunties aims to immortalize this culture, reflecting a fear of its potential extinction as generational changes occur. Her art merges the mundane with the surreal, providing a unique intersection of technology and cultural legacy.
There's a particular behaviour stuck between moving from the past to future traditions, and converting to modern life after being suppressed by 2,000 years of Chinese history, all while managing family and societal expectations. That creates a very complex character.
I would imagine that in about 50 to 100 years, they will go extinct, because people like my generation will become a very different set of aunties so I want to remember them.
