Artist of the Month – Wuh.ey

AI Edition Berlin honors Wuh.ey as Artist of the Month – for his uncompromising exploration of a new, hybrid spirituality in which artificial intelligence itself becomes a medium of the sacred.

Wuh.ey is a visionary between worlds—a digital shaman who uses the tools of artificial intelligence to renegotiate the boundaries of identity, memory, and ritual. His works are not photographs, but manifestations of a different perception: algorithmic hallucinations in which the spiritual returns to the urban.

In his latest series, Wuh.ey creates figures that appear both sacred and subversive. They wear masks made of shells, metal, fabric, and light—relics of a future that dreams its own ancestors. His images arise from the tension between myth and the present: between African cosmology and digital code, between community and isolation, between street dust and data shadows.

Wuh.ey works with AI not as a tool, but as an ally. He lets it hallucinate, interweave, and remember—until a collective memory forms from the data streams. The result is a new visual archive of Africa: poetic, rebellious, and timeless.

In the tradition of Afrofuturism, but with the precision of a new digital ethnology, Wuh.ey questions who owns images—and who creates them. His characters don't look at us; they penetrate us. They demand respect, dignity, and memory.

Wuh.ey is more than an artist: he is a narrator of transitions, an architect of the invisible. His art opens portals – between data and ghosts, past and vision.
