The “Eve Clone” series critiques human desires and actions that challenge or elevate themselves to the status of God. It references humanity’s attempt to clone God’s original creation while symbolizing the arrogant construction of a human kingdom that defies God, as described in the Bible through the “Tower of Babel,” the “Great Image,” and the “Whore of Babylon.”

“Wannsee Conference” references the infamous meeting of Nazi officials at Wannsee, where they planned the “Final Solution” for the Jewish people.

The work “Eve Clone Wannsee Conference I” gathers portraits of authoritative figures from various fields. These figures manipulate collective thought, plans, constructions, technological networks, and artificial life systems to establish a human kingdom. “Eve Clone” is brought to life as a composite human figure through AI techniques, merging her portrait with those of these authoritative figures using AI MidJourney software to create faces marked with the “666” symbol. To depict the personalities of these figures, representative speeches are extracted from their public speaking videos on YouTube. Using AI lip-sync software D-ID, their speeches and facial expressions are recreated, showcasing their ambition and determination.

The artwork begins with all 27 figures speaking simultaneously in their native languages, producing a chaotic cacophony. At the center of the first row is “Eve Clone.” Her speech is derived from a segment in the movie Megiddo, where Satan boasts and challenges God (Megiddo portrays an apocalyptic conflict based on the Book of Revelation). The other 27 figures initially deliver their own speeches, but after finishing, they transform into digital grids with curls (resembling Lin’s earlier work that appropriated Leonardo da Vinci’s Vitruvian Man for “Eve Clone’s” grid image) and repeat the same content spoken by “Eve Clone.” The piece concludes with “Eve Clone” delivering the speech solo, making her statement clear and forceful.

This work ironically portrays these figures as they eloquently express their ideas and wield power throughout history in various fields—political, military, economic, technological, and cultural. When they speak simultaneously, it creates a scene of dissonance, with different content but ultimately the same goal. The work suggests that the real-life figures portrayed are themselves “Eve Clones.” They are plotting an ultimate plan for humanity, much like the Nazi officials at the Wannsee Conference, who carried out the “Final Solution” against the Jewish people.
