Introducing
With my montages of own 3D art, ai characters and photos I'd like to draw attention to the contradictions of artificial reproduction without fertilization. Are scientists playing God when cloning?
My interest in the ethical issues of artificial (re)production of animals, eventually human organs – or humans in the future - made me create digital art about this topic. A key ethical question regarding the principle of cloning is whether this technique is violating some moral prohibition, ie, that people are “playing God” by producing embryos without using fertilization. Concerns about eugenics, the once popular notion that the human species could be improved through the selection of individuals possessing desired traits, also have surfaced, since cloning could be used to breed “better” humans, thus violating principles of human dignity, freedom, and equality.
What kind of future, what kind of creatures can we see in the magical sphere? I elaborate the thwartings of this topic in my art where 3D art is mixed with ai generated art. This piece is belonging to the series of artworks showing real-like reflections on the surface of a "magical" sphere. In this case I let ai generate a half human - half animal, a human with mouse ears. Then I put this image as a background of my reflective sphere in Blender and the result was this distorted image of the Chimera's face, mirroring the uncertainties and distancing of this kind of artificial reproduction. (A Chimera is known from ancient aart history but used in modern biology science, too: it is an individual that is made up of genetically distinct cells from two or more individuals, and these cells reatin their own genetic character).
