AI Spaceships
In the distant future climate change has made Earth uninhabitable.
In desperation the remaining people on earth build a series of spaceships and try to depart the planet. Some fail at launch and go down in flames. Others warp to the past and engage with steampunk battleships, or warp to the future to face highly evolved deadly plants.
Research on the plants reveals a way forward: using the powerful psychedelic powers of plant extracts, the ships open neon hyperspace tunnels and travel to a distant earth future. Some land in the frozen north, some land in the tropical equator, and some land in the desert.
Seeing the spiritual purity of the new settlers, angels arrive and raise the humans to a new level of psychic oneness.
Anne Spalter creates surreal, futuristic landscapes that reimagine the sublime through a hybrid practice combining digital tools with traditional media.
A recognized pioneer in digital art, Spalter established the first digital fine arts courses at Brown University and the Rhode Island School of Design (RISD) in the 1990s. She is the author of The Computer in the Visual Arts, a widely taught textbook that remains a foundational reference in the field. Together with her husband Michael Spalter, she curates Spalter Digital, one of the world’s largest private collections of early computer art.
Spalter’s work is included in major international collections, including The Centre Pompidou (Paris), the Victoria & Albert Museum (London), the RISD Museum, and the Buffalo AKG Art Museum. Her digital and AI-generated pieces have been showcased at Sotheby’s, Phillips, and featured in The New York Times.
She is prominently featured in the books DIGITAL ART: 20 Pioneers Redefining its Boundaries (Schiffer, 2025), On NFTs (Taschen, 2025), and Dismantling the Patriarchy, Bit by Bit: Art, Feminism, and Digital Technology (Bloomsbury Visual Arts, 2021). A frequent lecturer on digital art, Spalter continues to shape contemporary discourse on technology, aesthetics, and the evolving art market.
