2/18 ⪢ What is AI?
AI is a field of computer science that focuses on building machines that mimic human intelligence x a set of algorithms. It´s everywhere, from Google🔎 to Netflix recommendations. As a term AI was coined in 1955 by John McCarthy.

3/18 ⪢ What is AI art, this fast-growing medium?
AI system consists of a data bank, & a model that does something w/data, e.g. synthesize new versions from the data. AI art happens where the machine & human come together.🫀🤖🖼
There is a human making choice, story & curation.

4/18 ⪢ What is General Adversarial Network (GAN)?
This system is made of two components. The generator tries to produce original images, while the discriminator contains a database of many images & "discriminates" whether the generator’s work is truly new (hence “adversarial”).

“History is art, the photographer is only a witness. I will take you to where you’ve never been. Time Traveler AI is an #NFTartist whose absorbing cinematic photography transport us to the alternate world that both existed and never did.”

14/18 ⪢ AI: a new “normal”?
We are standing on the edge of a new era w/AI. Every time an artist collaborates w/AI, we tap into a higher level of intelligence & find ultimate understandings through shared neural networks. Free, nonjudgmental & unpredictable as watercolour. 🎨

15/18 ⪢ AI art, Blockchain & Mindfulness
AI helps us expand imagination, create in a very pure way & focus on the concept, experimentation, & curation. It is indeed a healing experience. We are digitally reimagining ourselves.
Blockchain & AI will question how mindful we are.

16/18 ⪢ AI art: just like in life
One word can change the outcomes, the person can stay or leave forever. Introducing the prompts to the AI and reintroducing them - changing the letters in capitals & adding several commas for instance - can shift things.

17/18 ⪢ Questions
- if we use the same tools, won’t all of our artwork look the same?
- who owns the art, if it’s based on somebody else’s style?
- potential for piracy, theft, & misuse, as well as social impacts
- lack of education around the consequences of technology.

18/18 ⪢ Out take
AI grants us a multiverse of options through the accessible no-code tech & lets the barriers to entry for becoming an artist vanish x the lack of art skills. Our take is to integrate machine's final output in the existing creative process.
Thank you. 📸✈️🕰🖤
