AI created this underwear—an algorithm I coded and trained using images of my own underwear, as well as my mum’s and my flatmate’s.
Underwear occupies a peculiar duality: it is both concealed and meant to be concealed, existing physically and metaphorically in the in-between. The initial idea of automating the design of underwear was satirical—a playful subversion of the idiosyncrasy of AI dabbling in such an intimate garment.
The algorithm had no preconceived notions of how underwear should look, function, or conform to socio-political expectations of women’s garments. This absence of bias allowed for the creation of designs that are peculiar and unbound by tradition.
I think these images speak to that freedom, walking the line between absurdity and deeper questions about the history of underwear and the forces shaping the designs we wear today.
