MURAKA Me Myself and AI
The "MURAKA Me Myself and AI" art show is a collection of six oil paintings, each measuring 24" by 18", inspired by Murakami flowers and the vibrant colours of spring in New York.
What sets this art show apart is the innovative use of artificial intelligence in the initial stages of the creative process. I used modern tools to generate unique and interesting combinations of colors, shapes, and textures by reinterpreting my former painting with prompts referring to the style of Murakami flowers and the feeling of the spring season in NYC. This allowed me to experiment with new ideas and explore different possibilities, while still staying true to the overall aesthetic of the artwork.
Once the initial compositions were complete, I used traditional oil painting techniques to bring them to life on canvas, preserving the AI feel in paint. This process involved both controlled and loose brushstrokes, resulting in a series of paintings that are both vibrant and intricate as well as intended and accidental.
Viewers can use the Artivive App to access the AR layer, which provides animation and allows them to see the NFT associated with each piece. I use AR to extend the viewing experience. Moving images and changing colors, textures and shapes with the music evoke very different emotions in the viewer, compared to looking at the painting alone. Takashi’s 2D graphic-design-like style and his fascination with Warhol led me to create swiftly changing animations, including saturated variations of the paintings for a contemporary feel.
The sounds can transport you to a different place. They often bring additional feelings to the surface. They definitely contribute greatly to the whole experience. I focused on sounds that often accompany Manga films or which are similar to the ones you could hear in a video game. Once again I wanted to explore more contemporary aspects in this series.
