Molly Mirror
Art is not new. Art mirrors us capriciously. Dare we admit it, even persnicketily. We, the disgruntled audience, take a Disneylandesque ride tour to see the ancient lineage of artists stretching across the globe and back 540,000 years to Homo erectus. We find to our modern horror a prehistoric “found art” assemblage that defies all reason and good taste —an AI-generated headless mammoth artifact with two tusks on each end, one absurdly jutting from its rear.
Like Joyce’s character Molly Bloom before her, Molly always says yes. But maybe we ought to say no.

I am an Alaskan director (4 produced feature films) and novelist (3 published novels) and painter (10 solo exhibitions). My day job is working as an evolutionary anthropologist currently studying the ethics of virtual reality and mixed reality for the EU (12 peer-reviewed first-author or single-author research articles; 2 non-fiction books; 1 Ph.D. thesis!). I live in London (UK).
“Molly Mirror” is part of a larger environmentalist feature-in-progress called “Madame Earth”.
