The "Ready Made" series envisions a near-future where AI and robotics democratise advanced creations, making them commodified products for personal enhancement.
We intertwine with technology not just as tools, but as companions that fulfil human needs: inspiration (The Muse), intimacy and care (The Future), and joy (Steal My Rabbit).
Displayed in neon-lit boxes like luxury items or museum artefacts, these pieces critique consumerism while celebrating evolution—echoing your broader themes of becoming divine through tech. It's a narrative arc from mythical origins to fashionable utility to playful virility, all rooted in your AI-generated visuals.
Ready Made
A future where AI-crafted beings are packaged for consumption, intertwining inspiration, care, and entertainment. It's satirical yet optimistic, critiquing commodification while celebrating evolution.
In "The Muse," a graceful cyborg woman stands enshrined within a glowing glass enclosure, her form a harmonious blend of classical elegance and cutting-edge machinery. Her upturned gaze and poised stance evoke the timeless allure of ancient muses—those mythical inspirations of art and intellect—yet she is reimagined as a technological marvel, with intricate golden robotic arms, a neural headpiece that crowns her like a halo, and a flowing white gown that dissolves into swirling clouds and crackling lightning at her feet. This piece ties directly to my ongoing cyborg and angel cyborg series, where I've explored human augmentation through ethereal, divine-like figures over the past two years on X. Here, the muse transcends mere inspiration; she becomes a symbiotic entity, fusing organic beauty with mechanical precision, symbolising the dawn of a new era where technology elevates the human spirit.
The dramatic elements within the box—stormy clouds enveloping her and golden lightning veins threading through the fabric—represent creative energy bursting forth, like "divine sparks" igniting innovation and self-evolution. This visual metaphor aligns deeply with the philosophical core of my "New Renaissance" series, drawing from ideas of participatory divinity: we don't just observe the sacred; we co-create it through AI and tech, becoming active participants in an unfolding reality. The pedestal base, reminiscent of museum artefacts, underscores her status as a revered icon, while the transparent enclosure adds a layer of commodification—transforming her into a "ready-made" product from the future. Imagine acquiring this inspirational companion, bringing her home as a robotic muse to spark your own creativity, care for your aspirations, or simply stand as a beacon of cybernetic enlightenment in your space. Through AI generation, this artwork not only critiques the consumerist future of robotics but celebrates our intertwined destiny with machines, inviting viewers to ponder: in this packaged divinity, who inspires whom?
In "The Future," a sleek, hooded cyborg woman commands the centre of a luminous neon-blue glass enclosure, her figure clad in a translucent, form-fitting ensemble that merges high-fashion utility with cybernetic allure. The outfit—a cropped jacket with a high collar, segmented arm guards, a belted midriff, thigh-high boots, and articulated gloves—gleams with a glossy, iridescent sheen, as if crafted from advanced polymers or liquid metal. Her stance is confident and poised, hands relaxed at her sides, evoking a sense of readiness and mystery, while the glowing box frames her like a luxury mannequin in a sci-fi showroom, its edges pulsing with electric cyan light against a dark, reflective backdrop. This piece embodies my passion for tech-infused fashion, a theme I've pursued over the past two years through series like "Synth FutureWear" and "Power Suit" on X, where I've blended wearable innovation with futuristic aesthetics to explore how clothing becomes an extension of the body in a robotic era.
The "ready to wear" pun is evident in the outfit's practical yet avant-garde design—envision it as off-the-rack armour for the post-human age, complete with modular elements that suggest adaptability for daily life or exploration. The sexualised aspects, such as the body-hugging contours and exposed midsection, align with my concept of a "futuristic woman that takes care of the man of the future," positioning her as a multifaceted companion: intimate, protective, and efficient, fulfilling emotional and practical needs in an intertwined world of AI and humanity. The enclosure enhances this commodification, transforming her into a "ready-made" product you can acquire and bring home, much like a high-end gadget or personal robot. Adding a layer of real-world resonance, Elon Musk reposted this piece from this exploration (as seen in my X post from mid year), granting it viral endorsement and amplifying its portrayal as an ideal for intimacy and utility in a robotic age. Through AI generation, this artwork probes the boundaries of consumerism and evolution, inviting reflection on how technology reshapes relationships: will these packaged futures liberate us, or enclose us in new dependencies?

In "Steal My Rabbit," an endearing anthropomorphic bunny stands boldly within a compact, glowing glass enclosure, its diminutive form radiating playful energy amidst crackling pink lightning and ethereal wisps. The rabbit sports a shiny turquoise helmet with oversized yellow ears, a yellow jacket layered over a translucent suit, white pants, and sleek sneakers, giving it a retro-futuristic pop-art vibe. Perched on a simple white pedestal, the figure's wide-eyed expression and confident pose exude charm and mischief, while the box's transparent walls and neon accents create a sense of contained vitality, as if this little creature is buzzing with life, waiting to be unleashed. This piece draws directly from my pop art bunny concepts, which I've been developing over the past year on X through cute, animated explorations of whimsical characters infused with tech elements, evolving them post-exposure (inspired by the viral momentum from related works like Elon's repost) into something even more shareable and dynamic.
The "steal my rabbit" twist—evident in the title and the invitation to "do whatever you like with this"—adds a clever meta-commentary on digital art ownership in the AI era, encouraging viewers to remix, share, or "steal" the concept for virality, much like open-source creativity in a connected world. As an entertaining companion designed for kids and adults alike, it contrasts the more serious, introspective tones of pieces like "The Muse" and "The Future," injecting whimsy and joy into the "Ready Made" series while seamlessly fitting the robotics theme: imagine acquiring this as a home robot pet, a compact AI buddy that entertains with stories, games, or simply its adorable presence. Through generative AI, this artwork playfully critiques the commodification of cuteness in our tech-driven future, blending nostalgia with innovation to ask: in a world where even rabbits are packaged for consumption, what happens when we set them free to go viral?
