The painting depicts the fictional politic in the digital sphere and how warfare’s physical attributes become a virtual reality nourished by algorithms.

This perception of military empowerment with a solid visual identity marks the idea of a monopoly of digital signs and symbols within a forced distanciation that will annihilate the faculties of physical grouping and interaction.
Beyond the blue curtain, the blue shape in the foreground, of simulation impulsed by deep learning, the value of warfare relates to digital existence and functionality to create new conflicts that will reorganize tomorrow’s world.
