"Aimy The Pregnant(2024)" revisits the meaning of technology through human's 'pregnancy.' With generative Al, we have had to acknowledge that creation is no longer the exclusive domain of humans. However, the creation of a life form or 'pregnancy' is something that cannot be over­come by machines or technology, and it still maintains human uniqueness. TZUSOO revisits this state of pregnancy through the history of technology. Pregnancy can be compared to a function and technology in itself, holding some­thing or often in a state of emptiness. Howev­er, it has been overlooked in the history and philosophy of technology . The artist's view of pregnancy as an essential human skill subverts masculinist narratives and thinking about tech­nology, offering a new proposal for a history of technology that is being recalibrated in the con­text of Al. The artist presents the figure of the pregnant Aimy in the familiar short-form format to reveal the unfamiliar image of pregnancy. In doing so, she questions the possibilities left to humanity in terms of generation or technology. As such, both Dalle's Aimy and Aimy The Preg­nant lead us to reflect on the true value and meaning of technology.
