Storyline: Our journey veers into an alternate timeline where Johannes Gutenberg's revolutionary invention transcends mere text replication. This work of AI-generated documentary photography captures a glimpse of a more enlightened transition within Gutenberg's lifetime from the Late Middle Ages to the Early Modern period, after his development of the printing press took a radical turn. Rather than just mechanizing the process of copying text, Gutenberg invented a vastly more sophisticated AI-powered machine, accelerating the intellectual evolution of humanity by centuries. We see 15th-century scholars using AI tools that we can only dream of today to create a future beyond imagination. This artwork seeks to change the past and imagine the future, presenting a unique perspective on Gutenberg's invention and its impact on our world.
