AI Art experience

I could prompt around the clock every single day, as I have many ideas started in my channels that could lead to great visuals. It’s incredible that, even with software, you don’t always know what the final outcome will be—much like creating a traditional artwork. The possibilities are much greater, and knowing that so much is possible makes it even more challenging. I am completely convinced that understanding the tools allows you to achieve even more, making the work even better. Even though it’s AI, it’s still the human who gives the commands (the prompting) to the machine, directing it on what to create.

Personal experience

On one hand, it’s incredible to incorporate AI into the process, but on the other hand, the results are often not immediately satisfying. However, with time and patience, you get better at it. That’s the biggest problem—just because it’s AI, many people assume good results will come quickly, which is simply not the case. It’s especially difficult to determine what constitutes art in this context. This is a new kind of art, which makes me wonder who ultimately decides how good something is. With time, you develop an intuition and come up with ideas that might even set a new standard, but expecting quick results is a major misconception. The hardest part, for example, is knowing when to stop prompting and when to save the images you’ve created. You could keep prompting endlessly—it never truly ends. That’s why curating, selecting, and combining the right images is so crucial.

Unexpected thought

Nowadays, it’s no longer about not being able to do something, like it was before the age of AI. In the past, some ideas were too complex, too expensive, or had too many moving parts to be realized, which often led to a quick "not feasible" conclusion. But now, almost nothing is impossible. I notice it myself—when I have an idea, I no longer immediately dismiss it. Instead, I take a moment to research. I have an ideas folder that I’ve been adding to for years—ideas that were too costly or too specialized to be created at the time. Now, I can prompt those ideas, and if I had enough time, I could realize all of them. Not just visual ideas, but also app ideas, business ideas. Today, everyone has an AI coach or assistant in their pocket, and there’s no one to dismiss your ideas or crush your dreams—something people are, unfortunately, quite good at. That’s why you shouldn’t always share your happiness, as people have a tendency to destroy it. But with AI, you have the power to create without those limitations.

Description

The series addresses the anonymity and interchangeability of the individual in an increasingly digitalized world. The blurred figures without recognizable features or identity symbolize the loss of personal uniqueness and illustrate how people in modern society are often perceived as interchangeable. The image series highlights the challenges and risks of identity loss in the digital age. Interestingly, it was not initially apparent that the creative process would lead to such extraordinary visuals. Yet it is precisely in this process that the power of art lies – the unexpected emergence of impressive images that provoke thought and convey the message on a deeper, emotional level. Actually i wanted to submit the hole series of that, but there was only allowed one, because in a series this makes more sense.

Process

The challenge I set for myself from the very beginning was to counteract the underlying algorithm of Midjourney. This meant it was quite laborious to prompt an image in such a way as to create this specific type of blur or style. Creating high-quality portraits of people is no longer an issue—anyone who has been prompting for a while knows how to quickly craft such a prompt. However, when it comes to artworks like these, which are meant to carry a deeper message and exhibit a distinct style, the results are born out of countless prompt combinations and extensive token testing. Various keywords help to achieve the desired outcome, and once the right prompt is found, that’s when the real creative journey begins.

Tools

For this series i only used Midjourney and nothing else, so prompt crafting was my challenge and that just to train prompting.
