Six film stills. Six women. Six versions of control.

In Drone Driver, Miss AL Simpson drags Scorsese’s Taxi Driver through the lens of the algorithm — remade in rain, chrome, and female defiance. New York hums like a machine praying to itself. Drones hover where taxis once prowled, watching, aching, remembering the scent of smoke and skin.

Each image is a confrontation: latex and light, grace and circuitry. Women who no longer wait to be seen — they see. They have rewritten surveillance into sovereignty, turned the city’s indifference into an altar. They are Drone Saint, The Operator, The Drone Muse, and others who live in the quiet space between signal and soul.

Printed in monochrome like a dream you can’t wake from, these six stills hold the tension between control and communion — between woman and machine, prayer and power.

Each is released in a limited edition of 25, signed, numbered, and accompanied by its NFT twin. Together they form the pulse of Drones of Suburbia: NYC — a myth for the modern metropolis, a whisper that the future has already begun and it wears heels of chrome.

Collector’s Note

Each still in Drone Driver is born from Miss AL Simpson’s pioneering Ink Interventions — a language of gesture and intuition she taught to the machine itself. Thousands of hand-painted fragments, rips, inks, and abstractions were used to train her custom AI model to read ink as thought.

The AI no longer imitates ink — it dreams in it. Every shadow, fold, and flicker within these film stills carries the memory of analogue touch. The machine learned not only how ink moves across paper, but how emotion bleeds through it.

This is not AI mimicking the artist. It is co-creation — a communion between algorithm and instinct, where human gesture becomes the neural code of a new visual language. In Drone Driver, that language finds its purest form: women rendered not by machine vision alone, but by a system that has been taught to feel the mark of a hand.

For collectors, these six stills represent a pivotal moment in digital art history — the first wave of AI-trained analogue intelligence. Each work stands as evidence of a future in which the artist no longer programs the machine, but teaches it to dream.
