Str4ngeThing is an artist and creator who works with artificial intelligence. He imagines modern NIKE clothing as digital art from the Renaissance, rubbing up against the galleries and works of the Old Masters. The AI artist even replaces the people in the pictures with portraits of himself while wearing all Nike. At first glance, he might look like he doesn't belong, but as time goes on, viewers can see how well he fits into the time period. Str4ngeThing's AI-made fashion art takes time travel to a whole new level and is a great example of how to shake things up. Only the people who are close to Str4ngeThing can know what his real name is. He writes that it's a big secret, just like where he is. We can say that he lives in the digital world and makes art online with his new tech skills. His art collection is called "WR0ng ER4". It is a collection of what Nike clothing looked like in the past, based on the Mandela effect, or false memory.
Str4ngeThing gets people's attention because he tries to change the way things have always been and puts Nike and its clothing staples lightyears before today. He does this to show that maybe these things have always been a part of people's culture, but it's only now that people notice them because of his renaissance masterpieces. Call it deja vu or a "I've seen this before" moment, but the artist and creator is ready to mess with everyone's mind.
From big hoodies and sweatpants to robes that look like they could be worn by a cardinal or pope, the clothes look like streetwear and stop people in their tracks. The artist and designer chose a color scheme of bright orange, lush maroon, and rich green. The signature check of Nike is the cherry on top. If you were walking down the street in one of these Nike AI art outfits, content creators might stop you, stick their mini microphone in your face, and ask you all sorts of random questions, either about the outfit or about what trends you want to splat or hop on. Str4ngeThing uses AI photography to play with the fire of fashion. They are inspired by the Renaissance, from the colors and architecture to the great artists of the time. People seem to want the artist and creator to go out of his way to make his photographs into real products. In one of his Instagram posts, a commenter says that he started following Str4ngeThing when he only had about 1,000 followers, but when he checked back three days later, Str4ngeThing had more than 7,000 new followers.
People have noticed his art that was made by AI, and Str4ngeThing doesn't seem to be slowing down. He wants to keep showing how fashion brands have been a part of everyone's culture for so long, so he imagines them in different times. For anyone who has said that a fashion trend comes out at the wrong time, Str4ngeThing might show that it's not the time but the design that's wrong.
