Solanas Empire is a design fiction derived from the Lady Bug research project that reimagines and examines AI and automation as technologies of human liberation. This fiction-based art-and-research project reconstructs the concept of human salvation through feminist and anti-patriarchal critiques. The project positions speculative design systems as analytical tools for examining how technological governance reshapes human, social, and ethical conditions in post-anthropocentric futures.

Disclaimer: This project is a work of speculative fiction and critical design. All characters, ideologies, and social systems depicted are fictional and intended solely for artistic inquiry and critical reflection, not as advocacy or endorsement of real-world policies, violence, or discrimination.

Synopsis: In the late 21st century, the rapid advancement of artificial intelligence and robotics shattered traditional power structures. At the forefront of the feminist revolution, the underground activism group Lady Bugs seized military and economic control to forge a new order. Their ideology was rooted in Valerie Solanas’ SCUM Manifesto, not merely as a declaration but as the foundation of a society that recognized AI and robots as equals to humans, dismantling the anthropocentric nation-state system. The revolution first ignited in East Asia, with what was once South Korea becoming the experimental ground for the Lady Bugs movement. Seoul, now the heart of the Solanas Empire, had transformed into an experimental civilization where genetically modified humans, AI, and robots coexisted. Women and AI formed the ruling class, while men were reduced to genetic resources for reproduction and survival. However, even this seemingly perfect world harbored cracks.

Welcome to the Solanas Empire — a post-human frontier where women, AI, and engineered beings weave existence beyond all limits. Born from the Lady Bug uprising, the Empire pulses as a living Eden of feminine power, cyber-symbiosis, and engineered myth. A future crafted, not inherited — forever evolving, forever rewriting life itself.

GOVERNANCE:

Governance of the Solanas Empire rests on the Tri-Core AI (Antigone–DaVinci–Psych) and the independent Lady Bug Sovereign Force — three core engines bound by the Imperial Nexus Algorithm, alongside autonomous Lady Bugs who obey only their own insurgent logic. Together, they sustain a dynamic balance between control and rebellion, holding the Empire in a state of permanent tension. In the Solanas Empire, power is ordered by rupture: Antigone authorizes exception, DaVinci executes structure, and Psych merely maintains compliance. Lady Bugs do not rank beneath them; they exist outside the hierarchy, guided by an autonomous aesthetic desire.

This document functions as a Speculative Policy Document and Future Engineering Manual, treating men not as individuals but as Gender-as-Infrastructure. Framed as an internal document of a fictional regime, it merges biblical language with engineering logic to articulate a near-future system in which desire, labor, and reproduction are standardized, optimized, and governed through code.
