ARTIFICIAL ANGEL

The collection was created between September 2023 and May 2024. It is a reaction to the growing popularity of algorithms creating images that, according to fashion designer and artist Erwin Michalac, should not be considered art. Erwin does not understand the fascination of many people who use those types of available software, which are designed, among other things, to store in their memory millions of real images created by flesh and blood artists. He considers that software and also people who use it without reflections.  He considers such inventions a form of entertainment and believes that artificial intelligence, despite its probable advantages, should be separated from traditional art (paintings, sculptures, handicrafts, etc.). He believes that in the field of art, people can cope without AI.

That is why He created the collection without using any of the available open AI sources. Handmade avant-garde dresses and costumes are the form of his art protest.
