ChatGPT

This visual narrative explores the dual nature of ChatGPT—as a seemingly human presence powered by pure code. The concept centers on the tension between emotional resonance and mechanical precision, using kaleidoscopic imagery to represent the flow and transformation of knowledge.



Visual Direction
I used the hexagonal structure from the ChatGPT logo as a base to develop a kaleidoscope motif, symbolizing both order and expansion. By layering geometric forms and light, I aimed to express how AI—though algorithmic at its core—can feel poetic and infinitely expressive.
