Synthetic Realities names a broader field of research rather than a single self-contained object. It connects projects that examine how images, interfaces, archives, and intelligent systems produce belief, while also making room for AI to operate as a creative collaborator.
A framework across distinct works
The framework brings together The Victory Box, AI-Generated Security Room, Perceptual Dissonance, The Victory Box Documentary, and related experiments in synthetic archives and interactive media. Each project uses a different apparatus, but all ask how technological systems shape what appears credible, visible, or actionable.
Lucid: A Portrait in Phases remains a separate collaboration-focused project, while sharing the broader concern with AI, authorship, latent space, and the translation of machine output into embodied form.
From critique to collaboration
The project does not treat artificial intelligence as one stable thing. In some works it generates persuasive historical evidence, operates cameras, or helps construct systems of classification. In others it participates in image-making, sound, and dialogue.
This dual role reflects a central position in the practice: contemporary technology can extend human creativity and connection while also intensifying surveillance, manipulation, and the concentration of power.
