Ethan Pope | Fictional digital character | Live performance, Music, Art, Deepfake & AI
Ethan is a fictional digital character designed as the estranged twin brother of Jesus, known for his outlandish and eccentric personality. He steps into our world with the aim of, much like his brother, gathering followers by sharing his experiences and adventures through music, videos, performances, and other forms of artistic expression.
Born in an era marked by the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic, a pervasive fear of impending war, and a simultaneous fascination and uncertainty regarding advancements in Artificial Intelligence, the Ethan project serves as a comedic relief in today’s society. His mission is to encourage his audience to take life a little less seriously for a moment and to celebrate the humor found in the absurdity of human existence together.
Ethan’s role as a digital messiah and hyper-pop guru showcases an innovative approach to integrating generative AI into the creative process. This method demonstrates the potential for a seamless symbiosis between art and technology, aiming to address and positively reflect on current societal issues, and opens up new perspectives on the potentials of creative expression in the digital age.
