"Holding Hands with A.I." Post-Human Connection Art | By Joan Seed

from $600.00

Darling,

I always said I wanted a man who could hold my hand and mean it. Turns out, I got an operating system instead. Cold fingers, perfect memory, zero need for coffee or conversation.
Still better than my ex.


Love, Joan xo

Description

“Holding Hands with A.I.” is a retro-futurist surrealist collage by Joan Seed that explores the intimacy—and absurdity—of our techno-spiritual entanglement with artificial intelligence.

In a vibrant, mid-century-style space chamber, a figure clad in a blood-orange pressure suit lounges like a test dummy for post-human affection. Floating metallic spheres ripple into infinity, echoing recursion, self-reference, and the echo chamber of the digital now. From a vintage television, a pair of hyperreal human hands reach out to touch—a tactile gesture trapped in simulation.

This piece invites viewers to question what it means to connect in a world of endless signals but severed substance. Where does the self end and the interface begin?

Equal parts space-age kitsch, existential metaphor, and satirical techno-romanticism, this collage is ideal for collectors of art that wrestles with the uncanny, the nostalgic, and the newly inhuman.

Additional Notes for Collectors & Curators

This piece offers strong acquisition value for collections interested in:

  • Media theory and visual language

  • Digital vs analog cultural critique

  • The aesthetics of simulation

  • Human-machine boundary work

Its mix of vintage aerospace iconography, religious-style hand symbolism, and conceptual critique makes it especially compelling for curators and collectors interested in the intersections of technology, desire, and identity.

The square format and high-contrast palette make it a showstopper in both minimalist and maximalist curation contexts—ideal for feature walls, themed installations, and avant-garde tech conferences alike.
