Thiel’s Basilisk
Acrylic on canvas,
24in x 36in
A reflection on the eschatology of techno feudalism in the face of AI Clankers, drones, and the ensuing pervasive sense of dread - that the machines of capital will become self-sustaining and slough off the flesh of their human counterparts.
Partially inspired by the quote from Nick Land:
“Machinic desire can seem a little inhuman, as it rips up political cultures, deletes traditions, dissolves subjectivities, and hacks through security apparatuses, tracking a soulless tropism to zero control. This is because what appears to humanity as the history of capitalism is an invasion from the future by an artificial intelligent space that must assemble itself entirely from its enemy’s resources.” - Mechanic Desire, 1993
