What is a country? A map, a landscape, a people, a culture?

If you had to condense your country into a single image, what comes to mind? What about the other countries you know? What about the ones you don't really know?

Artificial Countries uses AI to non-judgmentally explore how we think of and represent different countries visually.

When the AI is prompted just with the name of a country, nothing else, the differences in representation in its training data are represented in its output.

8 unique images were created for each of 195 different countries and recorded as Ethereum NFTs. Collectors receive a random image which can be traded on secondary markets. The divergence of relative prices of the images of different countries will add an additional layer of exploration.

Artificial Countries is our effort to make sense of some of the technological changes and political themes of our time.
