An iconic work by one of the Middle East’s leading digital artists, Ahmed El Shaer, who was most recently representing Egypt at its national pavillion at the Venice Biennale. In this series of works comprising several images and animated short loops, Ahmed El Shaer collaborates with Artificial Intelligence to explore questions on the afterlife, and how a machine imagines the metaphysical and the transcendental. All videos are produced through generative technologies, the final artistic works are fully created by machine intelligence, without the artist’s interference. A radical experiment in what Islamic Art could look like in the 21st century, away from stereotypical expectations and orientalist images. ‘AI Heaven’ is alluring, and terrifying. The images play with our perception, unsettling our expectation of form and meaning, as we stare into these works, created by a nonhuman agent.
