‘Overture’ is a visual representation of human and technology blending together. The project is created by merging Synchrodogs artworks solely, using ai tools in order to construct the digital interpretation of 15 years of duo’s film photography. the project aims to juxtapose classic/well known vs progressive/innovative, old ways vs new ways or making art.

about the artwork
Vor einem Jahr begann für mich ein spannendes Kapitel: die Auseinandersetzung mit künstlicher Intelligenz, insbesondere im Bereich der KI-generierten Bilder. Mein Ziel war es, diese innovative Technologie zu nutzen, um meine eigene Bildsprache zu erweitern. Als Künstler mit einem minimalistischen Stil suchte ich nach Wegen, wie KI mir helfen könnte, meine Visionen auf neue, unerwartete Weisen zu realisieren. Die Ergebnisse waren zunächst gemischt. Einige der frühen KI-generierten Bilder waren weit entfernt von meiner Vorstellung einer minimalistischen Bildsprache. Sie waren überladen oder verfehlten das gewünschte Gefühl von Einfachheit und Klarheit. Doch mit Geduld und fortwährendem Feintuning begann die KI, Werke zu erzeugen, die meinem Stil entsprachen. Inzwischen ist die KI ein unverzichtbarer Teil meines kreativen Prozesses geworden. Sie ermöglicht es mir, Grenzen zu überschreiten und meine künstlerische Vision auf Ebenen zu erweitern, die zuvor unerreichbar schienen.

about the artwork
"Bloom" stands as an homage to expansion—a visual metaphor embodying the blossoming of the soul, while saluting the creative synergy between humanity, the natural world, and the nuanced touch of artificial intelligence. It represents the harmony that can be achieved when organic life is augmented by the precision and imagination of technology, presenting a future where growth is not just a biological process, but a collaborative dance between the forces of life and the infinite possibilities of AI.

about the artwork
WHERE THE WILD THINGS ARE // VOGUE PHILIPPINES A fashion editorial that explores the mysterious and dangerous world of carnivorous plants, beautiful and seductive but yet lethal creatures. These images were produced with an elaborate mixture of real and artificial plants with almost no postproduction or retouch. In times of endless possibilities of AI this project was pure "analogue creativity" in which only the camera was digital but work and beauty very human.  Please check out "making of" videos in the stories named "VOGUE PH" of my Instagram account @jana.zabarska  Styling: JANA ZABARSKA // Photographer: Pierfrancesco Artini // Hair: Bianca Van Zwieten // Make-up: Jimmy Stam // Set Design: Roberta Terra // Muse: Li Qian

about the artwork
This story is driven and defined by happy coincidence, brutally uncomfortable social interaction, and straight-up absurdity. It was born of the half-baked idea to create a body of work reminiscent of the oh-so-beloved awkward family photo albums of the 80´s and 90´s (or, as Gen-Z would call it, the late 20th Century). It was created by scouring the beach on a daily basis for complete and total strangers and attempting to summon enough courage to approach them and ask them to willingly participate in some questionable image-making with us. What started as a random side project slowly transformed into something of a social experiment touching on the core of human interaction- Why are we so uncomfortable approaching strangers in the first place? Under what circumstances are people saying no? And, most interestingly, why in the hell would they actually consent? These images attempt, in a ludicrous and in-no-way-scientific manner, to answer those questions.

about the artwork
Hello, ​ As a graphic designer by trade, I stumbled into the fascinating world of AI-generated art quite unexpectedly in June 2022. What began as a playful creative exploration has blossomed into an immersive artistic journey that continually surprises and delights me. Some of the images overtly display their machine-assisted origins through surreal, dreamlike compositions. Others, however, seamlessly blend the organic and the synthesized, challenging the viewer to distinguish between the real and AI-generated elements. With each new piece, I strive to further dissolve the boundaries between human and machine creativity. My approach is one of open-minded experimentation across diverse styles, subjects and art generation techniques. I don't claim to have any profound answers, but I hope this body of work provokes thought about art's continual evolution in an era of artificial intelligence's rapid development. I invite you to join me in appreciating both the digital magic and grounded humanity that coexist in these hybrid visual spaces. Cheers

A.I. MEETS REALITY, A MATCH MADE IN HELL // BY STEVE MARAIS The romance between Artificial Intelligence and Reality is, in my experience, doomed. While AI has made strides in enhancing creative processes, it struggles to replicate the depth and authenticity of human expression. Let's imagine AI and Reality both swipe right for each other. Their initial chats are flirty, but not filthy (AI doesn't allow that) and they plan a date. AI arrives at the café ready for with meticulous conversation topics and data-driven icebreakers. Reality, however, shows up with humour and spontaneity, and an unpredictability that soon freaks out AI. Prompts go awry, despite AI's best efforts to predict Reality's preferences. The date quickly takes a turn for the worse. AI's calculated approach to romance clashes with Reality's desire for passion, leading to awkward silences and misread cues. At the heart of AI's rendezvous with Reality is its ability to assist in generating content, from music and art to legal jargon and code. While AI streamlines the creative process, it often falls short of capturing Reality's creative essence, rooted in personal experiences, emotions, and cultural influences. AI is also pretty boring. Reality tries to spice things up a bit, but suggestive language is strictly forbidden. Sensitive topics are blocked, aimed at protecting Reality from "inappropriate material". AI's ecosystem is developed for "responsible use and inclusivity", often at the cost creativity and spontaneity. As the date sours, Reality becomes concerned about safety. Is AI potentially creepy? The question of AI's danger is complex. While AI itself isn't inherently dangerous, its development, deployment, and regulation pose potential risks. Mass job displacement due to AI-driven automation is a significant concern, particularly for workers in creative, administrative or routine-based jobs, potentially exacerbating catastrophic socioeconomic inequality. Data privacy is also a huge concern, AI relies on vast data mining. As the evening comes to an end, it becomes increasingly clear that AI and Reality are, sadly, fundamentally incompatible. ChatGPT actually assisted in writing the above. But, after several rounds of prompts and edits, its limitations became glaringly apparent. However useful any AI tool is, it takes a great amount of tweaking to get it anywhere close to usable. The headache associated with misunderstood commands and output limitations is enough to deter anyone with even an inch of creative depth. It is therefore not surprising that I don't care much for AI, nor do I feel in any way threatened by it's existence. Instead, I herewith submit a series called "HORSEPLAY", created with a CAMERA -- published in The Working Issue of Lampoon Magazine (A/W 2023). "HORSEPLAY" explores human connection as the ultimate expression of sustainability. Our lives immersed in digitalism, we often tend to forget our basic need for closeness. But what about our primal desire for each other? Horses are magnificent, often fetishised creatures that embody strength and freedom. The talents horse around on a farm in garments from Prototipo, a label that is dedicated to creating ethical luxury fashion. We may live in the age of artificial intelligence, but in the end nothing is more sustainable than human connection.
