Emergent City explores the eerie familiarity of AI-generated images. These black and white scenes resemble real urban spaces yet feel subtly wrong—echoes of places that could exist but don’t. Through machine learning, Isidro Rodriguez crafted hyperreal “non-places” that unsettle our sense of space and memory. This body of work examines how AI reflects human imagination, biases, and our deep reliance on patterns. Blurring the line between real and virtual, it taps into Marc Augé’s notion of hyperreality. The images complicate photography’s relationship to truth, inviting viewers into an uncanny world where the familiar becomes strange and the artificial feels disturbingly human.
