A sattire on Mumbai’s water logging concerns by Prateek Arora

Prateek Arora moved to Mumbai over a decade ago from Delhi and when AI came into existence, the artist couldn’t help but show us Mumbai in a different light. Much like his imaging of spaceship apartments that float along Mumbai’s skyline, which are part of his “Surreal Estate” series, and give a very Jetsons vibe.
Arora started using Midjourney in 2022, even before anyone knew about the AI tool. “When you find a new medium to experiment with, the first thing any artist does is reimagine the immediate space around him/her,” says Arora. With AI art intricately woven around the city, he doled out one series after another. We especially loved the monsoon robot raincoats, which made us feel like we were Tony Stark in Mumbai.

Some of Arora’s images around what it takes for a common Mumbaikar to survive monsoon are popular on social media
