FANTASTiCPLANET









Fantastic Planet is a queer Los Angeles-based artist blurring the lines between reality and imagination. Inspired by Surrealism and the rich canon of queer art, they explore the profound connection between their subconscious and the creative potential of AI.


With a background in fashion and video glitch art,
Fantastic Planet focuses on thoughtful prompt-writing techniques to investigate cultural biases via machine learning systems. Their art is a testament to the resilience and beauty of the queer community, fostering connection and understanding in an ever-evolving world.




[Untitled] Affairs
I Asked For No Cheese

[Untitled] Affairs, created for Transcend DAO, aims to recreate the safe haven and sense of community that queer, trans, and LGBT individuals have found in nightclub scenes. Through the use of AI and blockchain technology, I strive to build a world where people can come together without the burden of social biases and constructs that affect their real-life experiences.


The piece depicts an environment where people gather around a table, enjoying a meal, blending club culture with underground queer dinner parties—an intersection not commonly explored. Through collaboration with AI, I find solace and validation, expressing emotions of loneliness, being misunderstood, and longing for a supportive community—a shared experience among LGBT individuals.

Queer Formations | Series One 

Queer Formations | Series One is the Ai Collaborative Genesis Collection built between Fantastic Planet, Midjourney, and Stable Diffusion.

The different forms I have taken during my life as a Queer Latinx Artist have been generated in this collaborative experiment. My feelings. Life Experiences. Men in my life. Friends I have lost. All of it starts with this Genesis Collection.

We are forever changing and forming as queer people. Forever re-forming again and again. To be seen as simply one thing, or one form isn’t the reality. I have constantly shifted my shape, physically, emotionally, and spiritually.

HERITAGE

Digital Video and Image NFT collection - Foundation Exclusive 

This video series is an exploration and homage to things in my past that represent tiny fractions of my heritage, sexuality, and artistic aesthetic I have built a brand around myself with.

Growing up half-Mexican, I only knew that my father's side of the family were all from Mexico. We never learned Spanish. We were hidden from our culture and background our entire lives. That was a choice my father made.

I have battled with "feeling" Mexican and being queer my entire life.

This project has allowed me to explore, appreciate and re-claim my heritage as a Queer Latinx Artist for the first time in my life.

Everyday is a battle, and now I turn those moments into love and peace with myself.
