FOCUS ON: EARLY AI ASSISTED ARTWORK (2021)
A breakdown of timeline, projects and aliases...
Before I discovered p5 and began my love affair with code-based algorithmic art, I was creating experimental artwork with text and machine learning algorithms such as VQGAN+CLIP. I thought of this artwork as an exciting collaboration with AI, and was my first foray into the world of generative art.
You can see some of this early work via various tezos accounts where I published under several different pseudonyms, and links to explore those early artworks should you wish to learn more.
Entering the Cave of Dreams, my first AI arrtwork release under the Plastic Dreams moniker, Aug 5, 2021.
CNTR9, released under the centre alias, Aug 24, 2021.
Plastic Dreams was my first AI assisted artwork account. It was intended to be a collaborative effort with some friends with whom I was intent upon sharing my newfound enthusiasm for AI artwork, although as it turns out none were serious about sticking with the project. I kept the name and branding as a cooperative, hoping they would rejoin, but it ended up being solely myself.
Wanting to venture stylistically into a distinctly different way, I created centre as an outlet for work that I felt inhabited a realm I thought of as "Art Brut AI". The distinctly contorted and beautifully grotesque drawings, rendered in a manner looking something like a mix between charcoal and dada inspired collage, captured dream images (or should I say nightmares) as only early AI could.
When it became apparent that Plastic Dreams wasn't destined to be the experimental artists cooperative I had hoped, I decided to start releasing my AI based art under my own existing tezos account (lisao.tez) on Hic et Nunc (RIP). Up until that point I was releasing solely digital artwork. After I started creating algorithmically based generative work with p5.js, I created a new account solely for those code-based releases (lisaorth.tez).
