Artist #MartynaMarciniak materializes the puffer jacket by the AI-generated image of #BalenciagaPope. The image was originally created by a 31-year-old man using Midjourney, while he was tripping on shrooms, and quickly became the symbol of the AI boom of 2023. It reignited discussions about truth and misinformation in photography and journalism.
