The Great Divergence
The Great Divergence
Artist's note

This artwork visualizes the WTO's warning that AI could dramatically widen the gap between rich and poor countries. The bisected globe represents a world fractured by technology, with one side composed of sleek, rising forms symbolizing the AI-driven prosperity of developed nations, while the other side sinks with fragmented, obsolete forms representing developing nations left behind. The glowing chasm at the center is AI itself—a powerful, disruptive force creating a new digital fault line. The stark contrast in color and composition captures the report's projection of two dramatically divergent economic futures.
