2050. New York.
The Drone Government controls everything digital.
So the city goes analogue. Matriarchal gangs have sprung up with their Drones of Suburbia drones as pets and guards. They steal one thing and one thing only - Old Masters Paintings. They wear the art as armour, as analogue tattoos, as symbols of revolution; all symbolic of an underground world of art theft.
Art is no longer framed.
It is worn.
VIEW ON SUPER RARE
The women in this short film wander through a bright, luxurious NYC penthouse—thinking, smoking, dreaming, simply being—while their drones follow like graceful extensions of their beauty. Created through the Posthuman Feminine Gaze I developed with my machine, these women do not pose for the camera; they exist on their own terms. They cross glass bridges with ease. Their ceilings were shattered a long time ago.
High above the city, something becomes unmistakably clear:
altitude creates clarity.
Clarity about themselves.
Clarity about the narratives that once tried to shape them.
Clarity about the myth they have escaped.
Because what weighs on them is not the past—it’s the realisation that suburbia was never a place. It was a psychological construct engineered to domesticate the feminine. A white picket script sold to women as safety, aspiration, and good behaviour.
These women reject that entirely.
"LES DRONES DE LA BANLIEUE"
"Miss AL Simpson’s "Les Drones de la Banlieue" is a spellbinding AI video artwork that captures a flowing, dreamlike journey through the suburbs and landmarks of Paris, as seen through an otherworldly lens."
