ARTTACKSYOU: THE ABSURDIST AI FASHIONISTA
Curator She-Ra @shirapugatch
Wielding artificial intelligence, German artist Arttacksyou Joana H crafts jarring digital compositions that merge haute couture aesthetics with surreal, corporeal distortions. Her hypersharp Midjourney images fuse glossy glamour with bizarre glitches and aberrations. Vivid colors provide sugary contrasts to darkly humorous, disquieting subjects.
An expert prompter, Arttacksyou cheerfully embraces AI imperfections and disregards conventions. Glitches become part of the portraits' DNA - simultaneous aberrations and embellishments. Her brazen approach unlocks AI's unfettered creative potential, generating absurdist daily surprises that captivate a growing following.
Arttacksyou elevates the accidental, distorted, and "wrong" to the highest realms of stylization. In doing so, she lays bare subjective beauty standards and the uncomfortable truths of AI's alien "vision." This is couture at its most unsettlingly exalted and grotesque.
Presented are 71 artworks curated by She-Ra of Linked By Art from the artist's prolific output, capturing the experimental spirit driving Arttacksyou's fashionable AI.

My style, if I have one, is to put things in unusual contexts, preferably in an aesthetic and simple style that invites hanging the pictures on the wall and gives the feeling of "it is designed".
I have been working in the advertising industry for almost two decades and have won several awards, with the last ten years working as a freelancer. The ability to create images with artificial intelligence fulfilled a long-held dream of mine. It used to take weeks to convey my vision of certain looks, photos, or drawings to others. But now I have found a sparring partner who understands me and works by my side without hesitation. I'm having so much fun with this collaboration that I've barely had time to sleep for a year and a half because I just have to try out one last idea. The realization of an idea, from the first thought to the satisfactory result, can take anywhere from an hour to several days. Towards the end, it goes faster and faster because the AI learns too.
My studies in visual communication in Düsseldorf and Hamburg, with a focus on photography, drawing, and creative writing, laid the foundation for my career. I stayed in Hamburg, where I quickly gained a foothold in a renowned advertising agency and was able to work on projects for brands such as IKEA, BMW, and Bacardi. My many years of experience give me an enormous advantage in "prompt" writing, photo briefings, and illustrator briefs, which always include references to styles, artists, light, setting, colors, and moods.
I love to work in Midjourney, in my job, too. Artificial intelligence can be used excellently to pre-visualize drafts of projects and ideas, which saves a lot of time and therefore money in the implementation process. My experience has shown that creativity can flow much more freely in the implementation process because the basic steps are completed quickly
