A series of personal representations while making use of A.I. picture generation
Concerning a month ago, I was totally terrified in finding out about this reasonably current wave of hyper/photorealistic AI created imagery through message motivates. And particularly so when I discovered of frameworks that might enable any individual to utilize anybody’s personal identity and both reimagine and decontextualize them by using a prompt of a few words. Nowadays, while I’m staying careful and diligent in exploring ways AI image/and-other-media generation can be securely carried out, I’m also finding myself attracted with the means I can reimagine my very own identification. Here’s the story of this psychological rollercoaster; my worries and likewise my excitement.
I started my AI picture explorations with MidJourney. I utilized this tool to playfully reimagine the identities of celebs. My triggers included, “Diana Ross in decadent art nouveau ad for Fanta soft drink,” “Malcolm X as Drake in the Nothing Was the Same cd cover,”
“Megan Thee Stallion as Mona Lisa in the style of Basquiat,” “Obama in an Adidas tracksuit with an afro in pop art design”, “Sade in a Buzz Williams video,” “Lenny Kravitz in a 1960’s Havana Cuba poster,” “Frederick Douglass taking a selfie for Instagram,” and “Rihanna for President”
