Play Hunting the Glitch
While everyone is free to experiment with prompts and mint any image that emerges without restrictions, it's important to remember that the collection resulting from each epoch will, in most cases, represent the "opera omnia" (complete works) of the virtual artist. This is their chance to stand out, be replicated, or perhaps even make a lasting impact in the art world. By engaging with the art and each other, we can create value through small interactions that can have a significant impact. To better understand and appreciate AI-generated art, it's good to follow the strategy outlined below:
REMEMBER The prompts you provide for image generation are strong suggestions, not requirements. The model generates each pixel by calculating the probabilities across all possible colors and shapes. The model shifts to make your prompt choices more likely, but there’s always a chance it will create something else. The model may have a more difficult time with odd pairings of styles and subject matter (such as a realistic portrait with abstract backgrounds). Generations will be more natural if you pick prompts closest to the intended style or subject matter.
Read the artist's biography and review their work: Familiarize yourself with the context of their life and work, influences, and the historical backdrop of their art. Look at the images generated by simple prompts and the ones that have been minted to get a sense of their artistic style.
Imagine the artist's world: Visualize their experiences, the people they met, and the places they visited to gain a deeper understanding of their perspective and creative process.
Identify the artist's obsessions and expressions: Analyze their work for recurring themes, motifs, or symbols to decipher their unique artistic language and messages they convey through their art.
Strive for consistency: Aim for a coherent interpretation that considers the artist's biography, experiences, and broader context.
Explore original subjects: Delve into unconventional or underexplored topics for fresh perspectives and insights, as well as a deeper understanding of the artist's work. Remember, our ultimate goal is to give AI-generated artists the dignity of real ones, and "Hunting the glitch" is our quest to contribute to the history of contemporary art. Let's come together as a community to create value and celebrate the beauty of AI-generated art.
