Each work costs between $2,500 and $5,000
DALL-E is an AI-powered system that lets you turn specific text into digital images. All of the pieces, which are on display in San Francisco, are for sale. Each one costs between $2,500 and $5,000. Human artists, on the other hand, don't think of AI-made images as art because they don't have the same signs of human creativity. People worry that AI will one day take over the world, but for now, it's being used to make beautiful works of art that are now on display in the first gallery inspired by Dalle-E, an AI-powered system that creates digital images based on text inputs. The art, which is on display in San Francisco, was made when the "artist" typed in specific words or chose suggestions from the AI. All of the pieces are for sale, with one going for $5,000. One of the sculptures, on the other hand, was made by reading the creator's brainwaves and body signals to pick an AI-made image that led to the final piece.
Traditional artists do not consider digital images to be real art
Traditional artists don't see digital images as real art because they don't have the same signs of human creativity. This has caused a lot of controversy around the gallery. Human engineers, on the other hand, point out that there is more to making AI-generated pieces, like tweaking and refining certain options and features to make a perfect picture. The bitforms gallery is open until December 29. It has eight different pieces made by media artists, roboticists, and other people who work in the tech industry.
All the artworks featured in the gallery were made with AI
The artificial intelligence lab OpenAI released the text-to-image app DALL-E 2 in May. It can turn a single text prompt into a number of realistic images and works of art. It can also add things to pictures that already exist or show the same picture from different angles. All of the art in the gallery was made with AI. This includes photos, videos, and sculptures.
Ellie Pritts, who has two pieces on display, told, "I think it's really important to show right now that this is a new medium." "There are real artists, and this is good work." Liminal Reprise is a piece of video art by Pritts that is on display. It is about "themes of consciousness and enlightenment." She started by using text prompts that fit the themes. Then, she took specific images to an open source AI video creation tool and animated the video the way she wanted. It costs $5,000 to buy this piece. Bitter Recursion, another piece of art by Pritts, is a still picture that can be bought for $2500.
A true translator for the imagination
Dan Gentile, who is in charge of culture at SF Gate, does not seem to agree that digital images are art. "It's hard to be an optimist about technology these days, given that many tech companies act in questionable ways. He writes, "This kind of art show doesn't help at all." "A.I. has endless possibilities. In this case, it has the power to make art more accessible to everyone by breaking the limits of craft and acting as a translator for the imagination." Or it could just be a source of crap.'
Alexander Reben has two sculptures and a digital painting in the show, but he didn't say what kind of prompts he used to make them. He told Gentile that he made them with a "secret sauce." Reben is an artist and MIT-trained roboticist. He made his nominal cliche using a system that reads his "brainwaves and body signals to choose an initial AI-generated image that is then "outpainted" with many other AI images consisting of hundreds to thousands of options to form a final high-resolution artwork."
August Kamp, who has two pieces in the show, is happy to share the ideas that inspired her work. The one piece looks like an astronaut on another planet. But the man's eyes show sadness or wonder because he may be taking his first steps into the new world. "Coming up with ideas is one of the most closed-off things to do in the modern world." Kamp says, "Everyone has ideas, but not everyone has enough training or encouragement to confidently bring them to life." "Being able to think creatively about a feeling or idea makes me feel powerful, and I think everyone deserves to feel powerful."
In September a work made with AI won a fine arts competition
Suhail Doshi is the founder and chairman of the board of Mixpanel, a mobile and web analytics platform based in San Francisco. He sent in an interesting piece of a red-colored person with what could be a large flower on their face. AI-generated art is starting to make waves in the art world. In September, a piece won the digital category at the Colorado State Fair Fine Arts Competition and got a blue ribbon and a $300 prize. Human artists, on the other hand, were very angry when they heard the news. One of them said that the world is "watching the death of art unfold." The AI art, called Théatre D'opéra Spatial, was made by Jason Allen, the president of a gaming company in Pueblo called Incarnate Games. He said he used Midjourney to make the beautiful scenes that look like they come from both the Middle Ages and the future. Midjourney is an AI program that turns text descriptions into pictures. Allen told people about his win on Discord, a social platform for instant messaging where he goes by the name Sincarnate. The news spread to Twitter, where people were upset that art made by a computer was chosen over art made by a person. One user said, "That's pretty f*cking sh*tty." The Colorado resident doesn't seem bothered by the criticism. On Discord, Allen says that Twitter users are against AI-generated art, but they are also "the first to throw the human under the bus by discrediting the human element."
