The first time I encountered the word “AI” was in the early 1990s.
It was through the video game Dragon Quest IV.
The word carried a sense of the future.
But the AI-controlled companion, Cristo, kept casting spells that didnʼ t work against the enemy.
As a child, I remember feeling disappointed, thinking the future was still far away.
Today, AI has entered the realm of creativity—once believed to belong only to humans.
Videos and images are generated in endless streams, appearing, flowing, and disappearing.
Precisely because we live in such a moment,
I feel more strongly than ever the importance of creating from a clear sense of who I am.
In the not-so-distant future, AI may surpass human intelligence,
and the landscape of our world may change dramatically.
At this moment of transition,
we present a collection created by human hands, accompanied by music performed by humans.
Looking back now, that imperfect AI companion, Cristo, somehow feels very human—and strangely endearing.
