CRAFTING PRESENCE THROUGH AI ILLUSION Whilst portraiture in the 1800s was a carefully planned affair, set against backdrops emulating elaborate interiors, the phenomenon of borrowing a lifestyle for a fleeting moment continued with the immediacy of digital portraiture. The impulse to capture oneself within a constructed set, as proof of attendance, even if the image projected is an illusion. With an audience far broader than the cabinets of the Victorian era, the performance endures as pixels are transmitted across the globe. Each image whispers the same quite declaration: I belonged, even if only for a moment. As we move into a new era of image-making with AI, a question begins to emerge: Must one be physically present to sustain the illusion?
