Atlas is a photography based ai portrait series representing all 198 countries of people on Earth. The mission is to see the world through the lens of artificial intelligence trained on the archive of portrait photography by Justin Aversano through the vastness of unfiltered and undiluted information scraped on the internet by Mid-journeys algorithm that breathes life into the machine made humans. What kind of data are the corporate databases being fed with, and what prejudices does it foster from its perspective when prompting specific people and their countries? Using one simple, but effective prompt, we will understand how we are seen by this technology. For example, "A Justin Aversano photographic portrait of an Italian in Italy."
