Generative Illustrations
Mike Kupietz’s experiments with generative art made with AI tools. Beautiful and strange visual images to trick the mind and and tickle the senses.
Artist’s statement: “I do a lot of experimentation with trendy AI generative art apps such as Dall-E and Stable Diffusion. These allow you do specify a picture of what you want, and will generate something they think it’s statistically likely you’re asking for.
“I’ve always been interested in using algorithms to augment and even collaborate with in my art, both visual and musical, since working in 1987 with the fondly remembered Joel Chadabe, an early pioneer in algorithmic composition, for whom I ran SUNY Albany’s electronic music studio for two years and worked with at his algorithmic composition software company, Intelligent Computer Music Systems.
“Even before the boom in AI in recent years, I was writing and using apps to algorithmically reinterpret and expand my ideas in both music and visual art. However, the recent boom in what’s technically known as ‘Generative Adversarial Networks’, AI image generators in short, has made it easier than ever to produce very convincing and complex images. I’ve had a blast playing with them in the last year or two.”
