With this collection I am trying to find a balance between IRL art and ai. I took 135 detail photos of one of my older abstract acrylic and gold leaf paintings, which I used as the img2img base for the ai. My goal is to find the balance between maintaining the right mix of abstraction to match the source material, at the same time allowing the AI to bring in recognizable artifacts. What results is (a)IRL(i). With only 110 outputs in the collection and 135 images in the img2img it is my hope that there will not be any repeat images used.

Thank you for being part of my journey.
