Description
New technology brings fresh opportunities for artists to expand their subject matter and visual effects. In Super ORganic Aunties (SORA), Niceaunties utilizes OpenAI’s video software, SORA, to enhance her world-building in a quasi-documentary style. Thanks to the tool's ability to render text into super photo-realistic videos, Niceaunties has introduced her new series of works into everyday settings such as the home and the street. Her signature surreal sequencing merges with a realistic visual dictionary, adding an exciting new layer of understanding to auntie culture.
Through SORA, Niceaunties continues to explore and represent the question of what it means to be an auntie in contemporary society. This series juxtaposes the fantastical elements of her surreal imagery with the grounded realism of everyday environments, offering viewers a nuanced perspective on the roles and identities of aunties today.
Aunties Eggs
Auntie bought some eggs from a mysterious vendor at the market, driven by food cravings intensified by the full moon's energy. To her surprise, mini aunties hatched from the eggs, throwing big Auntie's life into delightful chaos. Suddenly, with a squad of tiny assistants by her side, every aspect of Auntie's life was meticulously taken care of. But one day, just as mysteriously as they had arrived, the mini aunties departed, and the egg stall vanished from the market.
This story draws from Niceaunties' long-standing fascination with eggs, both as a symbol and as a food. It reflects the scientific concept that "our cellular life as an egg begins in the womb of our grandmother," emphasizing the themes of familial care, love, attention, and the inevitable experience of loss. Additionally, the narrative is inspired by the whimsical fairytale "Lilliput" and an African sculpture that Niceaunties encountered in a Parisian museum.
