Kevin Abosch

With Ethical Architecture, Abosch employs synthetic photography to interrogate the evolving relationship between built environments, digital labor, and the politics of simulation. The work presents a fragmented, liminal structure—part domestic space, part industrial artifact—suspended between states of completion and decay. In an iterative process with AI, the artist generates and refines the synthetic image through an interplay of proprietary and publicly sourced datasets, foregrounding questions of authorship, authenticity, and the latent biases embedded within algorithmic vision. By synthesizing an architectural form that resists stable classification, the work unsettles conventional narratives of materiality and representation, prompting a reconsideration of what constitutes the "real" in an era of computational image-making. In this speculative framework, the ethical stakes of digital construction become inseparable from broader debates on AI-generated creativity, artificial agency, and the aesthetics of uncertainty.
