AI + Art = by Julia Morton

AI + Art = The Primordial Pond
The creative gates once closed to most of us are opening, and we now have the opportunity to learn from our collective wisdom. Will we?
AI + Art = Strange Tools
"This is not what I expected!" That was the comment I heard most often when I asked gallery visitors what they thought of the AI and generative images featured in "Art in the Age of AI: Evolution or End?"

AI + Art = Connections
A large weight was taken off of my shoulders when I realized that the gatekeepers of the entertainment industry would no longer be able to hold me back. - M. Tolin

AI + Art = Tech Myth
Mixing tribal gestures with organic symbols and visual ciphers, Jari Anttonen’s AI motifs filter through layers of meaning and distill into a kind of techno mythology.

AI + Art = Art Therapy
"I'm not building a scene like a set director; I'm explaining a feeling and asking the AI to create that for me... I think that's what gives me the depth of psychological impact" - Jessica Jackson

AI + Art = Creative Intelligence
Tech-based artists are merging their creative right brains with their analytical left brains. Does this holistic approach change art for art's sake into art as a visual prompt? I asked Alex Dodge.

AI + Art = Phase Change
Phase change is when matter changes from one state into another (water to ice). AI is phase changing visual art into a hybrid form of uncanny illusions. Aude Rech explains what that means to her.

AI + Art = Merged Reality
Amy Ellingson's analog/digital art illuminates the merged experience of living betwixt and between. With her ideas anchored in history, she's able to leap into the unknown.

AI + Art = Engineered Art
Jiabao Li's philosophy of creativity is turning breath into food, mice into mentors, empathy into action, and curiosity into knowledge. Is engineered art the future?

AI + Art = AI Artists
Prompted to life, these AI artists are not alive, but they draw their creative inspiration from humans, and they hope we'll find their work relevant.

AI + Art = Accelerated Imagination
I discovered Blumquist's art on Instagram. His original use of the AI imaging tool Midjourney caught my eye, and I reached out to learn more about his work.
He lives in Germany with his family, and he’s a musician. That intrigued me. How could someone not trained in media art produce these sophisticated images? I asked if he’d describe the experience of making art with AI, and he generously agreed.
