BeschreibungPerspectives on AI, Special Project AGI 2024, Basel
Being an AGI member of a certain age, I’m not familiar with AI - other than the general view “it will take all our jobs” - and have never used any platform other than ChatGPT for the occasional text. I started my poster with an analogue collage approach using Victorian engraved illustration. On re-reading the brief for the tenth time, I elected to investigate AI image generating software. For $9.99 I purchased ‘50 credits’ on DaVinci which was the first platform to pop up on Google. This enabled me to generate 50 images – 3 similar renders per text prompt – at a size suited to (say) posting on my phone. Bizarrely, around 20% of the images generated had multiple limbs (arms, legs) and really odd-looking eyes, hands, or mouths. I took this as inspiration, not least the entire exercise was a spoof on what ‘artificial’ and ‘intelligence’ looks like. I was hooked to be honest. My idea was to create a spoof illustration the 1950s at the dawn of the computer age. A sort of ‘lost but now found document’ from the period that records and demonstrates the era at a now defunct university. The poster has the main photographic image generated in DaVinci, the text labels on ChatGPT and the layout/design in InDesign. So its really all a ‘combo poster’.
In truth I loved every minute. Great fun!
