Genesis

As the technology of generating images by AI is becoming more and more mature, there seem to be only two situations left in generative art: Through programming to influence the logic of the machine, or hand over the creative consciousness to the machine.

Then, through constant negotiating with the machine, taking back part of the creativity, can it be called the Renaissance of Generative Art?

The “Genesis” series uses images from Pixray to generate websites, constantly modifying character string to negotiate with the machine and not using any instructions or syntax, to generate images that meet expectations,

In addition to the name of the piece pointing to generative art, it also links to Michelangelo’s "Genesis", to talk about the creative possibilities of working with machines, thinking about the "humanistic" spirit under the condition of giving up programming but not giving up the consciousness of image creation.

There are nine pieces in the series: “Separation of Light from Darkness”, ” Creation of the Sun. Moon. and Plants”, ” Separation of the Earth from the Waters”, ” Creation of Adam”, “Creation of Eve”, “The Fall and Expulsion from Garden of Eden”, “Drunkenness of Noah”, “The Deluge”, “Sacrifice of Noah”.

8% of the proceeds from the sale will be used to support the operation of the Pixray.

藉由人工智能生成圖像的技術日益成熟，生成藝術似乎只剩下兩種狀況：藉由編程來影響機器的運算邏輯，或是將創作的意識全權交付給機器。無論何者，圖像的創造性似乎已不再由人所掌握。 那麼，透過與機器不斷協商的方式，取回一部分的創造性，是否能稱得上是生成藝術的文藝復興呢？ 《Genesis》這系列作品，使用Pixray的圖象生成網站，不停修正字串與機器進行協商，且不使用任何指令與語法，來生成符合期望的圖象。作品名除了指向生成藝術外，亦連結至米開朗基羅的《創世紀》，來談論與機器攜手之創造可能性，思考在放棄編程卻不捨棄圖象創作意識的狀況下的「人本」精神。 系列作品共九件：《分開光明與黑暗》、《創造眾星》、《分開海水與陸地》、《創造亞當》、《創造夏娃》、《原罪與逐出樂園》、《諾亞之醉》、《大洪水》、《諾亞獻祭》。

作品銷售收益的8% 將用以支持Pixray網站運作。
