Suprememe
Suprememe is an automated Instagram bot, which generates product and T-shirt images of Supreme aesthetics.
It collects random product, garment images and detects objects in the images to put the Supreme box logo or graphics on them.
From collecting images, detecting objects, compositing, to posting to the Instagram account, every step is automated.
This account, not only generating images but also being liked and followed other accounts (who probably are not checking what they are liking at all,) is the archive of supreme fandom itself.
