For this exhibition, Günther Friesinger provides us with four AI-generated portraits of Aaron Swartz that he created for the AARON’s:LAW exhibition at Schloss Wolkersdorf. The images are inspired by a personal encounter with Aaron Swartz at one of the early Arse Elektronika conferences in San Francisco. The festival focuses on sex and technology. The artworks also refer to a blog Aaron wrote in 2009 entitled Why I Am Not Gay, which was discussed in the comments.
