Utropiia is a sprawling retro-futuristic city set in a alternate 1920s world of gargantuan art deco skyscrapers and artificially intelligent automata
Utropiia is a personal project that brings together my passions for architecture, retro-futurism, science fiction, and the early photography of Eadweard Muybridge, Brassai and Edward Steichen.
These pictures are created with Midjourney and Photoshop. The process is as follows: I feed into the Ai model collages assembled from my b&w pictures and vintage pictures (free of rights!) of various sources, generate multiple images and composite/rework them in Photoshop into a final image.
