Jay Samit, an artist, finds solace in painting as an escape from the tumultuous world. He observes the transition in pop culture from a communal encounter to a more individualistic one, propelled by influential technologies, particularly AI, that mold our lifestyles and decisions.

After years of crafting these powerful tools, Samit now doubts their influence on us. He devised adaptive video games and advertising platforms but laments overlooking their ethical implications.

Samit ponders Warhol’s 1968 forecast of transient fame for everyone, contrasting it with the current era where anonymity is a privilege. He contemplates the implications of contemporary comforts such as Tinder, Netflix, beauty filters, and Alexa. Through his vivid artworks, he delves into the equilibrium of privacy and convenience, intimacy and popularity, and genuine interactions versus social media approval.
