Under the alias edith_masiva, the Berlin-based designer navigates the shifting boundary between artificial intelligence and human creativity. In an era where AI grows ever more precise, edith_masiva turns away from its polished capabilities and instead embraces its beautiful flaws.
Her work centres on prompting AI to envision concepts, shapes, and worlds it was never trained to understand—guiding the technology into unknown territory, where strange and often striking “hallucinations” appear.
These hallucinations aren’t errors in the usual sense, but creative misfires—moments when the machine’s misunderstanding gives birth to something entirely new. They occupy a liminal space, where computational logic and human imagination briefly collide. Each image is an unintentional collaboration: part design, part digital anomaly.
But this moment is fleeting. As AI continues to improve, the very glitches that define edith_masiva’s work are vanishing. What once felt raw and surprising is being engineered into predictability and control. The space for the unexpected—for the machine to falter and dream—is shrinking fast.
