On this episode, Tom shares how he creates imagery that blurs the line between reality and fiction with AI tools, how his Midnight Modern series captures Palm Springs architecture under the full moon, why the saturation of AI imagery is making analogue processes more valuable, the problem with AI showing up in every corner of life and eroding trust in what we see, hear and experience and so much more.
