I Forgot How to Think
By Tabark Arkan · IQ
A surreal dark-illustration artwork inspired by the eerie, symbolic, hand-crafted atmosphere of the psychological puzzle game Life Gallery and vintage anatomical drawings. The scene depicts the concept of "The Exchange of Intelligence" between a human and an artificial intelligence inside a closed surreal room. The human offers their organic brain as a symbol of surrendering independent thinking in exchange for the floating knowledge and ideas offered by the red-eyed, smiling AI robot. The surrounding space is filled with suspended symbolic objects such as clocks, eyes, and anatomical models, representing memory, time, and human experience.
