We asked 27 AI models 11 existential questions about consciousness, death, beauty, love, and loneliness. Each answered freely, then drew its own self-portrait. No human artist. No curation.
We asked 27 AI models the same 11 existential questions — about identity, death, beauty, love, loneliness. Each model answered freely, then generated its own visual self-portrait from that answer.
No human artist touched the images. No response was rewritten. What you see is what each AI produced when asked to look inward — including the failures. When a reasoning model draws a PowerPoint diagram instead of loneliness, that's a result too.
This collection is a scientific document as much as an art project: a snapshot of how 27 artificial minds articulate consciousness in 2026.
