Artificial Intelligence Explorations
EXPLORATIONS IN STORYTELLING WITH GENERATIVE ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE / 2022 - 2023
I’ve been working in Generative Art since I began with New Media as a young adult. The emergence of Generative Large Language Neural Networks in the past few years has been profoundly captivating to me as an artist. For this body of work I use the Neural Network Midjourney. This ‘Imagination Amplifier’ has become quite nuanced and deep in it’s use within it’s dramatic growth these past years. To create images, complex prompts are sent into the AI, these include camera type, time of day, compositional descriptions, color palettes and tone, etc. The AI creates using randomized noise a batches of images. These are then carefully sifted through to find the ones that resonate most with the aesthetic I’m searching for. Then these images are mixed or “bred” with each other by sending them back into the AI in pairs. We continue this process of breading image aesthetics and content with each other until I arrive at an image that works for my needs. This process is both discovery and creative willing into being. Over the past two years I have created an ongoing fictionally narrative on social media that utilzies these images paired with my own written fiction. A sampling of these images can be seen below.
