Gigatura — Hive

Six months ago I began working on the Gigatura project, which right now is about half finished. I made it resemble a generative art project, but in fact it is all composed of 1/1 art.

Here's the Gigatura story, first draft:

Enter the world of Mirage in the year 2045, a Dark Enlightenment hellscape where one mega corporation, Gigacorp has seized control of the government and simple freedoms that were once enjoyed are now just a memory.

A lot of the story centers around artists who get replaced by AI. Since AI is thousands of times better at art than any human, artists no longer make art, and most end up working in factories, prompt prisons and the WAGMI fast-food restaurant chain.

In order to control the citizens of Mirage, Gigacorp launched its social credit score system called the Giga Score, on a scale of 0-1000. As long as their score remains above 300, citizens are provided with a free monthly distribution of GOMA, a medicated gum that induces happiness, and diminishes negative thoughts. GOMA is highly addictive and withdrawals are bad enough that most people don’t ever want to go through that. Getting free GOMA is a big deal to the citizens of Mirage especially since most people are poor and a bit on the miserable side. Anyone who dips below a Giga Score of 300 will be automatically added to a list that prevents them from flying, taking trains, leaving Mirage, getting a house or a lucrative job.

The Gigatura project centers around a young woman named Tura, an artist who loses her art career to AI in 2040. Tura, like many artists who were replaced by AI had to find employment and getting a job at the WAGMI restaurant was the easiest route.

Tura’s life turns completely upside down when her mother is killed by robots in a WAGMI meat factory. Tura learns that her mother often disobeyed her manager’s orders. After she was killed, they hung her body underneath a WAGMI billboard, to set an example for other workers. But actually, no one in Mirage noticed her hanging body. They thought it was part of the WAGMI marketing on the billboard.

The killing of her mom was Tura’s life changing moment, when she began to question everything. As her Giga Score plummets, and she loses access to her GOMA, she experiences bad withdrawals, and delirium. It is during her GOMA withdrawals that she wanders into a forest and by chance discovers a flying rabbit. The flying rabbit leads her to the door of the Freezone.

The characters are grouped into factions, with the main ones: Gigacorp royalty, Gigacorp military, the conformists, npcs, bots, the rebels and the doublespeakers. Doublespeakers are people who work for both the rebels and Gigacorp, just to create more chaos.
