Piece description from the artist
I've been experimenting with AI image generation. The styles that AI provides are fairly generic, and the images are small. However the images generated are great starting materials for digital collage.
Many of my piece titles are more allegorical than descriptive. The title and artwork riff off one another. This presents an interesting opportunity for query based image generation. What if I describe a piece and title in context of one another? The result is these insane boffo uncanny valley visual solutions to my queries.
The detail images show some of the original elements, masks and layers.
This is a collage of my original drawing "The paramecia that dreamt of being fish" and a number of AI solutions to queries based on the piece title and descriptions of the piece design elements and style.
Getting cool little images is easy. Turning these images back into something original takes a bit of time and effort. Interesting possibilities.
Dr. Regina Valluzzi has an extensive scientific background in nanotechnology and biophysics. She has been a scientist in the chemical industry, a green chemistry researcher, a research professor at the engineering school at Tufts, a start-up founder engaged in technology commercialization, and a start-up and commercialization consultant.
Even during periods of intense activity as a scientist, Dr. Valluzzi has always held a strong interest in the visual arts and in visual information. While she majored in Materials Science at MIT, she also obtained a second degree in music and a minor in visual studies. Visual arts have managed to permeate her technical work; during her Ph.D in Polymer Science and Engineering at UMass Amherst, she completed a thesis that required advanced electron microscopy, image analysis, and theoretical data modeling. These experiences provided the visual insight and information that now influences much of her artwork.
Dr. Valluzzi’s work has been included in private collections across the US, UK, Germany, Canada, Japan, Netherlands, Switzerland, Bulgaria, Dubai and Malta, and in the corporate collection of "Seyfarth Shaw" Boston law offices around Boston. She has a selection of pieces on loan to the MIT Materials Science and Engineering Department as indoor public art. Her accomplishments include having published thirty articles in peer-reviewed scientific journals, having made several scientific patents, having been a subject matter expert for an encyclopedia chapter, and having been invited to speak at science talks across the US, Europe, and Japan.
Her newsletter is a good source of ongoing information: http://eepurl.com/daiLQ
