AN ETHNOHISTORIC EXPEDITION

A Midjourney AI collection designed to explore the limits of historical indexing, prompting for hyper-realism, and racial/cultural biases within the AI.

These images are historically reimagined - they are not meant to be historically accurate representations.


Rather, they are a look at what our future tech imagines our past heroes looked like.
