NUCA is an AI-powered camera that captures individuals in their purest form – no clothing, literally stripped down to their authentic selves in their natural state. NUCA is a speculative design and art project.
As a speculative art project designed to provoke questions about the logical progression of generative art, NUCA both titillates and horrifies. It forces us to confront automatic shame and how we feel about body imagery — especially when it ostensibly is derived from human subjects in the real world.
Although the image creation process is asynchronous by virtue of running the captured photo through Stable Diffusion, you can imagine that it'll only be a matter of time before this kind of processing could be done real-time in so-called X-ray specs.
Then what?
