Las Vegas: Rapid Change in the West

"Las Vegas: Rapid Change in the West" is a collection of AI post-photography that places viewers into a discussion on what it means to experience personal, societal, and environmental change. Through diverse narrative scenarios, this collection captures the glamour, violence, and everyday moments that happen in a mythical version of one of the most dramatic transitions in the American West.

In the 1950s and 1960s, Las Vegas experienced a rapid transition from a quiet, rural desert town into a major tourist destination, run by the mob, that hosted an increasing mobile US population. Las Vegas quickly evolved into a mythical place in people's minds where perception, "reality' and lived experiences are often in conflict. Life goes on, but it is often weird.

Post-prompt editing is kept to a minimum to allow the strangeness and quirks of AI to come through, providing a historical look at what MidJourney was like during this particular time with these specific circumstances.

Hard day

Leave no evidence behind

Going out

Gone

Pool day

Planning it all out

Movement and conversation

Stampede

The tokens we gamble with

We take it serious

Wedding day

Where are we going today

You can't miss it

A moment

Always on the road

An (AI) embrace

That moment you are in
