ai and i was an in promptu project of digital imagery.
It began by creating some prototype imagery that I then fed to an open source AI machine.
The AI machine edited and enhanced my images and then I also did some “interventions” on the output it produced.
It is an open project which I wish to continue and let evolve.

In “I and AI, My Friend,” I embark on an artistic exploration, a visual play that transcends conventional creative boundaries, yet using a rapidly common practice, that of use of technology in art-making. This project encapsulates the symbiotic relationship between myself as the artist and the incredible capabilities of artificial intelligence.
Here, AI is not just a tool; it becomes an integral part of my creative journey, my story to tell, a collaborator, and a friend.
Through this collaboration, I navigate the realms of digital art, seamlessly interwining my vision with the intelligence and possibilities afforded by AI technology.
Our partnership is a fusion of human intuition, emotion, and imagination with the computational prowess of algorithms and machine learning.
At the core of this project lies a narrative of mutual evolution. As I guide the AI, shaping its outputs with my inputs and directions, the AI, in turn, influences and challenges my artistic perspectives. This dialogue between “creator” and technology results in a harmonious blend, a synergy that gives birth to captivating digital artworks.
“I and AI, My Friend” is not just about the creation of art; it is a philosophical exploration. A statement. It prompts contemplation on the nature of creativity, the concept of authorship, and the evolving relationship between humanity and technology in the realm of artistic expression. It is an ode to the possibilities unlocked when our imagination collaborates with the limitless potential of AI.
This project is not merely about the final artworks; it is about the semantic narrative, the evolution of a friendship between I and the machine, and the profound impact it has on the creative process. “I and AI, My Friend” stands as a testament to the boundless horizons awaiting exploration at the intersection of art and technology.
