In an interview for The New Indian ExpressGokul points out that he was inspired by the movie Slumdog Millionaire, to devise images in an opposite sense: “Slumdog Millionaires” or “Outcast millionaires”.
With the help of midjourneyan image generator with Artificial Intelligence based on textual descriptions, Gokul achieved his goal: Elon Musk, Zuckerberg, Warren Buffett, Mukesh Ambani, Bill Gates, among others in a parallel universe where they are poor.
Gokul uses Artificial Intelligence to create images and ideas of parallel or dystopian worlds. In the case of the images of the millionaires, he first gave instructions to create a slum and then created the characters.
Half of the world population lives on less than 6.85 dollars per person per day and 8% of people in the world barely survive on an income of less than 2 dollars a day, according to the latest information available from the World Bank.
The concentration of wealth increased with the pandemic and there are proposals to tax millionaires like Zuckerberg or Elon Musk to lift a large part of the poor out of their precarious situation.
