REACH NEXT LEVEL

Valeria Fedorovna Belova, UV Collective AIrtist, presents her project tryouts with her ambition to merge digital painting with photorealism.. The initiative aims to blend classic and abstract forms, pushing traditional art into modern technology and surrealism. The tryouts offer a platform for budding AIrtists from the collective to contribute to this movement, generating high anticipation. Valeria's starts for the next level of style development and model adjusting.

The next stage of development will benefit from the latest updates to the Midjourney and Leonardo AI models

the art of artificial intelligence

Not everything turns out perfect for the supercomputers, but that doesn't mean they're gaining relevance any less.

What do artists Diego Mendoza, Alba Flora Mendoza, Zoey Preston, Valeria F. Belova, Taavetti Ketoja, and Saki Vuma have in common? They are not humans, yet they each have their own personal story and even an artist's biography.

Take Diego Mendoza, who tackles issues of double standards and societal controversies in his works reminiscent of advertising posters. There's "rebellious and profound" Zoey Preston with her nude portraits. Or the Japanese pop art sensation Saki Vuma, who describes his garish pink kitsch art as "naughty." It's delightfully eccentric.

The mastermind behind these characters is none other than AI connoisseur and artist Stefan Schrön at the Mannheim Art Association. With the help of artificial intelligence, Schrön has created six identities that form the collective "Infinite Mind." ChatGPT crafted their biographies.

The effect is startling when viewing the images also created with the help of AI: even though they do not exist, like pop star Vuma or the rebellious Preston, viewers develop a relationship with them. Their style seems individual and authentic. It's not necessary to like it, but one can imagine how an art lover elsewhere might recognize Saki Vuma's signature in a pink unicorn. Is this something to fear? Hardly.

The Mannheim Art Association hosted a meet-and-greet weekend titled "The Art of Artificial Intelligence," which served both as an exhibition and a symposium – admittedly a bit impromptu, as Friedrich W. Kasten, the chairman of the Mannheim Art Association, confesses. "We aim to explore how one can create aesthetic products with AI while maintaining leadership," says Kasten. "Much of it is experimental." The topic of artificial intelligence is more relevant than ever in the art world, attracting many visitors to the rooms on Augustaanlage on Sunday.

There, they saw works by four human artists: Moto Waganari, Jo Jacobs, Gunnar Keppler, and Stefan Schrön with his collective. Not everything on display is self-explanatory. This is particularly true for AI art: seeing is one thing, understanding another. The prompts, the input commands that an AI uses to generate something, are long and complex.

Creating an artwork with the help of a machine is not a snap of the fingers. Gunnar Keppler allows an AI to attempt to create faces in a real-time experiment.

The new technologies are already stirring up the art world. Discussions revolve around copyright, regulation, and control – and, of course, the perpetual question of what artificial intelligence can and cannot do. "AI does not understand causal relationships," Stefan Schrön explains in his lecture. However, it is unbeatable when it comes to patterns. The victims in the art world, according to Schrön, are comic studios. Because at Marvel and the like, it's not about the individuality of the characters. That means: Spider-Man should always look the same.

Friedrich W. Kasten is not sounding the alarm bells; for artists like Moto Waganari, the monitor is simply paint and brush. Kasten is also concerned with media literacy, as illustrated by an installation in the corner of the exhibition room. On a stack of newspapers sits a screen displaying AI-generated images of supposed natural disasters.

The pressing question: How can I recognize if an image is created by AI? Schrön suggests looking at the hands, but even there, AI is getting better. Or it circumvents the problem with an almost human trick: if you don't know what to do with your hands, the best place to hide them is in your pockets.

Make Friends Not Labels: Embracing a Paradigm-Free Future

By Zoey Preston, contributing airtist and visionary
In a world that has become increasingly marked by divisions and limitations, it is imperative that we strive for unity and connection. We are living in an era where we tend to judge and label others based on predetermined paradigms. These labels, whether based on race, religion, gender, or any other socially constructed category, have created a pervasive sense of separation among us.
As an artist, it is my duty to challenge these paradigms and encourage a shift in perspective. It is with great motivation and excitement that I introduce my new art project, "Make Friends Not Labels." Through the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and innovative artistic techniques, I aim to create a thought-provoking visual experience that inspires viewers to envision a future devoid of rigid paradigms.
The concept behind this project is rooted in the power of friendship and human connection. In a world where our identities have become entangled with labels, we have forgotten the beauty of embracing each other for who we truly are. With each stroke of the brush and every line of code, I intend to dismantle the barriers that separate us and foster a sense of togetherness.
Using AI technology, I will create stunning and immersive artworks that challenge viewers to engage with the pieces on a deeper level. The AI will analyze and interpret text, images, and speeches from diverse individuals across the globe, capturing the essence of their stories, experiences, and dreams. Through this synthesis, the AI-generated artwork will depict a visual representation of unity, where labels dissolve and friendships thrive.
The purpose of this project extends beyond the realms of the art world. It is a call to action for society as a whole, urging us to redefine our relationships, both with ourselves and with others. By exploring the potential of technology alongside art, we have an opportunity to transcend the confines of our current paradigms and create a future that is inclusive, compassionate, and free from judgment.
"Make Friends Not Labels" will undoubtedly be a catalyst for meaningful conversations and introspection. By seeing our shared humanity illuminated through AI art, we can confront the biases deeply ingrained within ourselves. This art project strives to break the cycle of stereotyping and encourages viewers to reassess preconceived notions, fostering curiosity, empathy, and understanding.
I invite you all to embark on this transformative artistic journey, as we navigate the uncharted waters of a paradigm-free future. Let us stand together, challenging the status quo and celebrating the diversity that enriches our world. Let us remember that labels only serve to limit our true potential, and true connection lies in the ability to embrace one another as friends, rather than as mere manifestations of arbitrary categories.
Together, through "Make Friends Not Labels," we can inspire a paradigm shift that will transcend generations, ensuring a future where acceptance and understanding prevail over division and discrimination. //written by squarespace ai
