Description

Reclined in a glass tower above New York, she holds her drone like a cigarette — elegant, lethal, and indifferent. Velvet Protocol captures the heiress as both object of beauty and sovereign of the gaze. Her dress, a cloud of artificial bloom, flutters against the steel edge of machine adornments trained to orbit her.

Shot in AI cinema and rendered with Simpson’s custom-trained ink model, this image fuses haute couture with machine intimacy — a portrait of surveillance as seduction.

From the Surveillance Penthouse suite in Drones of Suburbia (NYC) — the AI cinematic series that reimagines classic New York film scenes through machine consciousness and female sovereignty.
