The "Handcrafted" AI artworks from Stuttgart delves deeply into the process of generating AI-created images. At its core lies the contradiction between the title "Handcrafted" and the reality of machine-generated art. This apparent contradiction aims to highlight the ongoing debate about the authorship of AI-generated art and reflect society's criticism: Who is the true creator of a generated image? Does the creative authority belong to the human guiding the AI, or are these works merely soulless duplicates based on stolen or copied content from databases? Without human hands This question arises because critics often argue that AI systems merely reproduce existing material, lacking genuine creativity. At the same time, artists who use these technologies find their creative abilities being questioned. The "Handcrafted" series deliberately brings this discourse to the forefront, questioning whether artificially created artworks truly originate from human imagination or if [Read more...]

"Rust Orange and Dim Blue" is an AI Art Serie of generated images and videos that captures the essence of artistic creation. The artworks evoke the tactile sensations of traditional mediums like oil or acrylic paint. Where colors and textures meld in rich, organic forms. In this series, the hues of rust orange and dim blue weave together. Creating a visual narrative that are both timeless and contemporary. Process of Creation With the power of GenAI, the process of creation becomes an exploration. A journey where the artist begins with a simple prompt. Gradually refining and reengineering the image through iterations. This dynamic process mirrors the hands-on experience of traditional art-making. Yet it introduces a new dimension: the magic of AI, where ideas materialize with just a hint of human influence. Blend of Human and Machine There is a sense of wonder in this blend of human and machine—a fascinating yet thought-provoking dance [Read more...]

The role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in art creation is a topic that both fascinates and polarizes. On one hand, AI does not replace the artist, but on the other hand, it creates a new way of working and a new creative process. With the advent of generative AI capabilities, Pandora's Box has been opened for many creatives. AI as a Tool in the Creative Process It is important to remember that we should use this technology to our advantage. Why should a machine generate art? It has no intrinsic motivation to express itself, even if it could master the craft. The fascination of AI lies in its ability to foster and accelerate the creative process. The iterative process between evaluating the intermediate result and manipulating the depiction is accelerated and refined. This process repeats until the artist considers the work complete. This approach is particularly relevant for visual arts such as painting, digital art, and other disciplines. AI Creates Rapid [Read more...]

Artificial Intelligence (KI) in art creation is a fascinating and multifaceted topic. From mere support to becoming a dominant force in the creative process, the dynamics between human and machine are evolving. In this article, I explore the current developments and possibilities that arise from the use of AI in art. In today's era, AI models such as Stable Diffusion, Midjourney, and Dall-E are at the forefront of the creative process. These models utilize vast datasets to generate context-based associations that serve as the basis for creating artworks. However, the range of possibilities depends on the trained data models and the parameters used. More control over Artificial Intelligence We are witnessing an upsurge of tools that grant artists more control over AI. An outstanding example is ComfyUI, a user interface that allows controlling the outputs of AI not only through text prompts but also through image prompts and videos. Through the so-called Image Prompt Adapters [Read more...]

In the era of AI, technology has made incredible strides that surpass our imagination. A remarkable combination of AI algorithms like Stable Diffusion and ControlNet is opening new avenues in the field of art. In this article, I write about how you can transform your pencil sketches into stunning 3D renderings within seconds. This is what happens when art and technology work hand in hand. The Inspiration Behind the Idea The idea to render my sketches using artificial intelligence dawned on me during my experiments with AI technologies. It was during this exploration that I came across the fascinating results of the Vizcom AI software. (available at https://www.vizcom.ai) This software allows for the creation of design renderings from sketches in just a few seconds. I was captivated by the notion of harnessing such technology for my own creative purposes, particularly when combined with open-source solutions like Stable Diffusion and ControlNet. The prospect of [Read more...]
