This series, Deep Tech Mafia: Upgraded Vision, is the result of Duncan Rawlinson’s thoughtful engagement with the intersection of traditional photography and artificial intelligence imaging. It presents a series of images that gently push the frontier of how we perceive enhancement through technology. The collection subtly navigates the space between natural human vision and the mechanical, suggesting a careful consideration of the future. This series offers a contemplative look at the possibilities inherent in the blend of our organic selves and the technology we create.
In this photograph, dead trees stand solemnly amidst a vast field of yellow, dry grass. The scene evokes a sense of desolation and decay, yet there is an undeniable beauty in the contrast between the lifeless trees and the sun-drenched landscape. The golden hues of the grass create a serene and tranquil atmosphere, while the stark, skeletal branches of the trees serve as a poignant reminder of the harsh reality of drought and arid conditions. As one gazes upon this image, it is impossible not to feel a deep sense of connection to the resilience of nature and its ability to withstand the passage of time. This powerful photograph is a testament to the haunting beauty that can be found even in the most desolate corners of the world.

World Trade Center is a terminal station on the PATH system. It is located in the World Trade Center complex, within the Financial District neighborhood of Manhattan, New York City. It is served by the Newark–World Trade Center line at all times, as well as by the Hoboken–World Trade Center line on weekdays, and is the eastern terminus of both.
The World Trade Center station is located on the site of the Hudson and Manhattan Railroad (H&M)’s Hudson Terminal, which opened on July 19, 1909. In 1961, the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey bought the bankrupt H&M system, rebranded it as PATH, and redeveloped Hudson Terminal as part of the World Trade Center. As part of the construction of the World Trade Center, Hudson Terminal was torn down, rebuilt as World Trade Center, and re-opened on July 6, 1971. Following the September 11, 2001 attacks, a temporary station opened in 2003 while the World Trade Center complex was being rebuilt. Work on a permanent station building commenced in 2008. The main station house, the Oculus, opened on March 3, 2016, and the terminal was renamed the World Trade Center Transportation Hub, or World Trade Center for short.
The World Trade Center station has five tracks and four platforms in the middle of a turning loop. Trains from New Jersey use the loop to turn around and head back to New Jersey. It is four floors below ground level.
The $4 billion Oculus station house consists of white ribs that interlock high above the ground. It was designed to connect the various modes of transportation in Lower Manhattan, from the Fulton Center in the east to the Battery Park City Ferry Terminal in the west. The hub contains connections to various New York City Subway stations, including Cortlandt Street on the N, R, and W trains; World Trade Center on the 2, 3, A, C, and E trains; and a future connection to Cortlandt Street on the 1 train. The Westfield World Trade Center mall is also within the Oculus building. The new station has received mixed reviews: although the hub has been praised for its design, it has also been criticized for its high costs and extended delays.
