AI

I submitted the following phrase to Dall E. “Woman or Man with a big smile doing a handstand on …”. This is a series of AI-generated Photocollages that discusses the ambivalent relationship between humans and animals and the fun factor of early premature technology. The fascinating part of AI-generated images is the imperfection of the resulting creations. In the spirit of my creative language, the images generated are often surprisingly freakish.

Old-fashioned AI (Artist Intelligence) is crucial for this groundbreaking tool to be used so that it does not just become a showcase for what AI can do. For me, that is just boring tech enthusiasm. In this case, I created each animal/human pairing with Dall E and put it together in an old-fashioned collage. The background is also generated with AI.
