Title

Alexandria Oxiana: What if the Greeks endured in Central Asia

Creator

Bouras, Filippos

Abstract

This project was an attempt to use AI to create concept images for a fictional Greek settlement near modern-day Afghanistan. The rationale was to mix and match contrasting pieces of architecture, greco-roman and modern Bauhaus on an area where they do not exist, or ar not usually imagined. It was a process with three stages: creating the landscape, introducing one or two structures of recognisibly Greek origin, and finally adding a settlement. Creatively, this was an exercise in visualising alternate history, while technologically it was to test the limits of what AI could do.
