BABYLON

This work anchors an AI-generated map of a 'Flat Earth' against the backdrop of an American War Bond, etched directly into printed circuit board and accented with 3D-printed stainless steel.

The central image interrogates the algorithmic resurgence of pre-Aristotelian cosmology. It reflects a digital era where platforms like YouTube amplify pseudo-science, framing the scientific consensus of a spherical Earth as a deliberate deception.

The intricate, lace-like patterns framing the print are 'guilloche'—complex geometric designs historically engraved by manual lathes to authenticate currency and documents. In a subversion of this security aesthetic, the patterns here are generated from the contour lines of a Kalashnikov rifle, weaving the shape of a weapon into the architecture of value and trust.

Framing the composition is the logo of 'Babylon,' the legacy Israeli translation software. The reference invokes the biblical Tower of Babel—the moment divine intervention shattered human communication. It serves as a coda for the post-truth age: a world where the abundance of information has not created a common language, but rather a fragmentation of reality itself.
