AI

In exploring the use of AI I was interested in this work expressing my understandings of the UAE. As someone new to the country my impressions are of a place that reveres and values its history, while being captivated by notions of the utopic in its present and future, especially with regards to nature and technology.

These images were created during an AI workshop using the Midjourney. I enjoyed using this software, as a material the AI was interesting to prompt and ask to reconfigure these images over and over. Basically I would create an image and then upscale the image many times until the image started to defrag into these landscape looking things. While this was my first experience working with AI, I found it to be an interesting tool and material. The potential of AI abounds as an opportunity to collaborate with the unknown through the lens of familiarity and chance.
