Mano de santo

n.d.
Series of AI-generated images
Dimensions variable

A series of images of hands in everyday scenes, generated with AI. In Spanish, a “mano de santo” (a saint’s hand) is anything that fixes everything, and that is how we treat technology today. We believe one search will solve any problem, a faith known as technological solutionism. Hands, the very thing these programs draw worst, give it the lie. The series keeps the “hallucinations” and finds something extraordinary in the error.
