Love Your Nails!
Narges Kalhor
Rewriting history with AI. Historical material is repurposed and serves up a newly interpreted narrative that redefines our present and challenges our visual archive. Gender roles are reversed in this world, and women possess their natural weapon: their long fingernails. How would things be if women wielded their power in the same way men do today? And how is our collective visual archive transformed by AI?
