*Color Factory* imagines AI as a factory for artistic production. Smokestacks represent datasets, servers, and hidden labor; the output arrives as cotton-candy clouds—bright, weightless, endlessly pleasing. The clash between hard industry and sugared plumes mirrors the medium itself: frictionless images masking intensive extraction of energy, materials, and human effort. I want the piece to hold both truths at once—the sweetness of new image-making and the machinery that makes it possible.
