As a long-form generative AI homage to Artemisia Gentileschi, Britney Spears' knife dance, and all other objectified, abused and eventually self-empowered weapon-wielding women of history, "Sharp Objects" blends Gentileschi's Old Master sensibility with Empress Trash's stylization of saturated color palette and her traditional oil painting methods.

In her own words:

Following the concept of my first Emergent Properties series, "Dynastic," "Sharp Objects" at the core pulls from Gentileschi's work, which I studied in depth. The working title for this series was Artemisia's Revenge, thinking about how I express rage at personal and social injustices through art, much like Gentileschi did. As someone who is also a rape survivor, I remember when I learned of her work and story, I felt for the first time, "wow, if she did this hundreds of years ago, I can maybe be an artist too, in spite of everything."

Now, over 15 years later and into my second year of utilizing AI in my creative practice, I have observed consistently biases in all AI models to at least some degree of how women are depicted (if they are depicted at all). Without prompting to be otherwise, the standard is rather emotionless, very thin, and predominantly Caucasian. In an attempt to push against these standards in datasets pulled from our media and art, the women in this series are prompted with my bias to be emotive, diverse, and naturally imbued in dramatic and sometimes dancerly poses with butcher knives.

The collection variable is EMOTIONS, to probe how the base model I use - Stable Diffusion SDXL - applies the prompt to feminine expression. Sometimes it works; other times, the results are completely incongruent or interchangeable. There are methods with other AI tools to achieve an expression sought on whatever face, no matter race or gender, however, they are considerably more technically advanced, making them not easily accessible to the average user at this moment.

I'm of the thought that all technology is inherently neutral; it isn't until humans interact with it that it takes on any form of bias or ethical questions arise. AI models are constantly learning and developing as we interact with them, feeding them more data with images and language we choose or are allowed to use. Additionally, as a baseline, there are centuries of a variety of biases in art and media that the AI models are pulling from, bringing the question many ask to the forefront, "What are the implications of past and current biases on future representations of the human experience with AI?"


"Sharp Objects" is a Long-form generative AI-art collection. 'Long-form generative' means each work is generated at the time of mint with no curation of the raw AI output from the artist besides from the prompts and variables.

This collection was created by Empress Trash for her first solo exhibition in Paris, through Superchief.

All these couples in love…

Thinking about togetherness & individuality in personal relationships and how we oscillate between enmeshment and separateness. We entangle the self with the other, and then learn to find a balance.

Thinking about how we couple & un-couple in order to learn, understand ideas, grasp semantics, feel and love.

Thinking about technological singularity, when growth is so fast it becomes uncontrollable, irreversible, it fooms.

Thinking about moments of intimacy and love in the latent space, and wondering if AI might know how this feels...

“All These Couples In Love” is the first Medium-Form AI collection created with EmProps OpenStudio. 100 OpenStudio outputs were selected for this collection; the order in which they mint is randomized and stored in encrypted metadata.

This is the third EmProps MemberToken. Ownership of a MemberToken confers certain privileges, including a lifetime subscription to EmProps OpenStudio at the Basic subscription tier.

Inspired by the early 20th Century Spiritualist Art Movement, E27 seeks to create a series of artwork that unfolds for the viewer as a visual meditation, offering an entrance to unseen worlds.

Hoping to provide a glimpse into the avant-garde lens of early 20th century esoteric artist-querents, E27 aims to conjure a sense of transcendence. Textures rooted in subtle tones create an ambiance for weaving the unframed narrative of the work, inviting the viewer to explore their own connections between the material and metaphysical.

Note: The “S” variable utilized in this work is not meant to create a rarity attribute. The value of any individual edition of this artwork is intended to be determined by viewer aesthetic alone.

E27 is a Long-Form AI project created with a dynamic prompt fed into Stable Diffusion SDXL 1.0 and then upscaled using two different models.

All of this was built entirely within EmProps OpenStudio Beta.

E27 is the second in a series of EmProps MemberTokens. Ownership of a MemberToken confers certain privileges, including a lifetime subscription to EmProps OpenStudio at the Basic subscription tier.

Kismet is the profound experience of encountering one's fate or destiny. The series utilizes randomness and aspects of Bitcoin's price to trigger additional variables when each edition is minted. The audience plays a crucial role in the series, generating unique outputs based on the minting time.

Under shadows cast by midnight's hand,
I don the cloak and mask, dark as night's command.
Silken threads pull tight, hood veils my face,
Hidden within, I become a wraith in lace.

A mask of bone, a grin of death's embrace,
Eyes like hollow stars in an endless space.
Footsteps echo, soft as whispered breath,
In halls that hum with secrets kept in death.

Candles flicker in an amber glow,
Casting spells from centuries ago.
Symbols carved in marble, cold and white,
Guiding me deeper into ancient rites.

The air grows thick, perfumed with sage,
A book lies open, words alive on the page.
Each line I read, a binding spell,
Unlocking doors to heaven—or hell.

I feel them watching, robed and still,
Eyes gleaming with a secret thrill.
A hand extends, pulling me near,
Into a circle where silence is fear.

The leader speaks in tongues unknown,
Words sinking deep as seeds once sown.
I bow my head, I feel the mark,
Baptized now in shadows dark.

As the veil between worlds begins to thin,
I feel the ancient power surge within.
Through twisted paths my fate is sealed,
In the grip of secrets yet revealed.

No turning back, the pact is made,
In this secret society's dark parade.
And as the night swallows whole my name,
I am reborn—a keeper of flame.
