Born in space

This artwork presents a serene infant sleeping inside an intricate biomechanical cradle, embedded in a complex system of dense cables controlled by mysterious gadgets. Behind the child, a larger figure appears fused into the same machinery, featuring a female face asleep in a giant hitech helmet, possibly a control unit of an AI guardian suspended in a cyborg-like state. The contrast between the infant’s warmth and the cold, elaborate machinery evokes themes of human vulnerability, generational transition, and the evolving relationship between life and technology.

This artwork is from the series titled "A newborn in the care of an alien AI". The original image was generated in September 2023 using Leonardo.ai image generator and the AbsoluteReality model (the original image is shown 2nd in the project batch). The presented version is a major remake in both size and quality, done in stages in February and August 2025 in Krita AI Hires., with the goal to greatly enhance it and elevate to the HyperPixel format, along with upscaling to the commercial print size. The resulting version is of 10K (79 MP) resolution and 27”x33” print size. It is available on ArtStation as a print of variopus formats: https://www.artstation.com/prints/art_poster/7qmRO/born-to-a-spacefaring-family
