Artificial Intelligence Art Imagery

What is the impact of computer-generated and ai imagery on contemporary art?

Yes, I scored the domain, aiArtImagery.com, to support my foray into the world of artworks created with the use of Artificial Intelligence software algorithms and/or websites offering such services. Computer Generated Images (CGI) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) have been in use for a (relatively) long time. We are used to seeing CGI in major motion pictures like Jurassic Park and Star Wars. However, the concept of creating art with Artificial Intelligence by describing, in text, what the desired outcome should be had become somewhat of a buzz-word topic these days.

Computer Generated Imagery (CGI)

Computer-generated imagery (CGI) has had a significant impact on contemporary art. The use of technology in art has allowed artists to create images and animations that were previously impossible to create with traditional methods. CGI has also changed the way that artists create and think about their work, as well as the way that audiences experience and interact with art.

One of the key benefits of CGI in art is that it allows for greater experimentation and exploration. Artists can now create images and animations that are incredibly detailed, complex, and intricate. They can also manipulate and distort reality in new and interesting ways. This has led to the creation of new art forms, such as digital painting and virtual reality installations.

Another impact of CGI on contemporary art is that it has made it more accessible. With the widespread use of computers and digital tools, many more people are now able to create and share their work with a wider audience. This has resulted in a democratization of the art world and has allowed for a wider range of perspectives and voices to be heard.

Finally, CGI has also changed the way that art is experienced and consumed. With the increasing use of digital devices, audiences are now able to engage with art in new and interactive ways. For example, virtual reality installations allow viewers to enter and explore a digital world, while augmented reality apps allow them to experience art in a new and interactive way.

Overall, the impact of CGI on contemporary art has been profound. It has opened up new possibilities for artists, made art more accessible, and changed the way that audiences experience and interact with art.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) Imagery

Artificial intelligence (AI) has been increasingly used in the creation of images and other forms of visual art, and its impact on contemporary art has been significant.

One of the main impacts of AI-generated imagery is that it has opened up new possibilities for artists to experiment and create in ways that were previously not possible. For example, AI algorithms can generate new images or animations based on a set of inputs or parameters, allowing artists to create complex and intricate works that would be difficult or impossible to produce manually.

Another impact of AI on contemporary art is that it has changed the way that art is created and experienced. AI algorithms can create images that are indistinguishable from those made by human artists, leading to debates about the nature of creativity and authorship in the digital age. AI also has the potential to change the way that audiences experience art, by enabling the creation of immersive and interactive experiences that respond to a viewer’s actions.

Finally, AI has also had an impact on the way that art is consumed and distributed. With the increasing use of digital devices and online platforms, AI-generated images and animations can be easily shared and viewed by a global audience, leading to new and diverse forms of artistic expression.

In conclusion, AI has already begun to have a profound impact on contemporary art and it is likely that this will continue to evolve and grow in the future. As AI technologies advance and become more accessible, they will continue to open up new avenues for artistic exploration and expression.

Change has always been upon us.

Like it or not, we are always experiencing change in one form or another. CGI and AI in art is no exception.

I have been exploring this “new fangled” approach to creating images and have started a small online gallery among the good people at Fine Art America. The two images above are, of course available as wall art and on a variety of home decor items. Click an image above or a link below.

Here I am photographing one of the most fascinating of places – Driftwood Beach on Jekyll Island, Georgia.

Driftwood Beach is located on the northeastern end of Jekyll Island, Georgia. To get to this secluded paradise you must first drive through the main recreation area of the island. The beach does not have any access from the main road but there are a few parking areas along the road and paths leading to the beach.

I’ve Always had a Keen Interest in Astronomy

I also re-process public domain astronomy images to ready them for wall art display.

Here is an example: SOLD at Pictorem as a 36×16 Canvas. Thank you, dear buyer, for your support. The image below is linked to the sales page…

In recent years, astronomy has become increasingly accessible to the public and stargazing has become a popular activity. With modern technology, anyone can explore the night sky from their own home and admire its beauty. If you want to bring that beauty indoors, using public domain astronomy images for wall display is a great way to do so. These images allow you to bring the stars and planets into your living room.

What Are Public Domain Astronomy Images?

Public domain images are photos that are not protected by copyright. This means anyone can use them for any purpose without having to pay royalties or seek permission from the owner.

Where to get the Outer Space imagery.

Sources such as NASA and the Space Telescope Science Institute offer government-paid-for images in the public domain. Astronomy has long been a fascination of humans, inspiring writers, musicians, and artists alike. From the Greek gods to modern day space exploration, the stars have captivated us for centuries. For those looking to bring the beauty of astronomy into their home or office, using public domain astronomy images is an excellent way to do just that. With plenty of options available online, anyone can easily find beautiful images that are free for personal and commercial use.

However, making them suitable for prominent wall display takes a bit more than simply downloading something you like. These public domain images and resized and enhance in clarity, color and contrast so they look great as a wall display. The Print on Demand (POD) companies with whom we work offer high quality wall art and a 30-day satisfaction guarantee.
