Visual Exercise #1

Vincent Lam

Back in high school I gave myself a challenge where I would take a random photo of something everyday. I failed and only took about 40 photos total. Some of the photos were of my friends which was very nostalgic to see. Other photos were of random things like studying in class or just a chair in the dark. The photos I liked gave off a artistic touch that really resonates with me. I feel that to other people it looks like a random photo but to me it feels like art.

For this exercise I wanted to see if I could recreate some of those photos using AI tools. My initial plan was to use DALL-E and just chat and give it descriptions of the photo until it matched which did not really work well. This might be because of the prompt I gave it. I was never good with words. So I changed my approach. I asked Midjourney to describe my image. Then I would take that prompt, adjust it and give it to DALL-E. This also did not work. So I settled with just uploading the actual picture and try to get it as close as possible. I ended up comparing how DALL-E and Midjourney recreated an image.

Between the two AI tools there are major differences on how they recreated the image. For some reason in all of the photos MidJourney always added people into the photo. For DALL-E the art style was always trying to be realistic but you could tell it was a bit cartoony. In the end, this was a unique experience that will make me question who to go to first when I want to make a visual.

Writing Exercise #3 Fictional AI World Prompt for a GPT

Vincent Lam

For my AI world I wanted to mix a bunch of concepts that I have read or seen from books and movies. The general concept is that humans and AI now live in harmony. The Government has been replaced by a single high functional AI and Earth is a utopia.

The era is 3040 but the AI has maintained the nostalgic theme of the 2000’s with some exceptions with technology such as taxis being all eclectic and all automated.

The AI in charge, the Governance Intelligence Network or GIN for short has cleaned up after humanity and has restored the earth. There is no pollution, the polar ice caps have been restored, the rainforest has been brought back, there is no global warming. The Earth is in perfect balance. There is also a giant ring around the planet that works as a space station.

World hunger no longer exists. Technology has produced highly notorious pills that can be taken once a day. Food is still eaten and made but only for enrichment and enjoyment. With the guidance of AI new foods have been made like a chocolate lava cake that is actually made out of lava.

All cultures of the previous eras have been maintained with some new cultures and religions being developed with technology. Interested in rocks? Why not join the new religion of monks who practice becoming one with the earth by eating rocks?

With GIN the economy has moved into a system meets the needs of all of its citizens. All goods and services are provided, with currency given to citizen for things they want not what they need.

All education is free and is only mandatory up until a high school diploma. All educators are AI that specialize in their own field and all learning is done one on one.

The one uniqueness that I added was a legacy system that allows people to upload their minds into a network so friends and families could speak to them for guidance or wisdom.

Visual Music (Visual 1)

Amy Bennett

I began by asking my GPT, to create an abstract visual representation of music without using instruments or musical notes. As you will see there are a few notes in it, however, the artistic style was exactly the one I was looking for.

In our conversation, my GPT and I explored color palettes, imagery, and tones that suit different types of music. The slide presentation includes descriptions from my GPT.

I was very impressed with my GPT’s ability to capture the essence of sound in visual format. With colors, tones, ethereal scenes, I could relate each image to my own personal relationship with music and how my own imagination tends to visualize it.

  • Aminata was deeply influenced by the Mbalax music that pulsed through Dakar’s streets, a genre that itself was undergoing a transformation in the 1980s, blending traditional Senegalese rhythms with elements of jazz, funk, and Latin music. Her style is a testament to this eclectic mix, emphasizing the polyrhythmic beats of the sabar drum. Influenced by artists like Youssou N’Dour, Aminata sought to bring the spirit of Senegal to the world, envisioning a fusion that would resonate on a global scale.

  • Clothes: Cheikh prefers simple, elegant attire that speaks to both his cultural roots and his artistic persona. A crisp, linen tunic over comfortable slacks is his go-to performance outfit, often in earth tones that complement his kora.
  • Cheikh’s musical journey was shaped by the traditional melodies of the kora, passed down through generations. The 1980s introduction of electronic music and the global spread of rock and pop acts like Michael Jackson and The Police expanded his musical horizons. He began to experiment with blending the intricate melodies of the kora with the harmonic structures of Western music, aiming to create a sound that was both deeply rooted in Senegalese tradition and appealing to international ears.

His move to Mexico in the 1980s introduced him to a whole new world of musical influences, from the energetic rock en español bands like Caifanes and Mana to the synth-pop and new wave sounds that were sweeping the globe. This blend of African rhythms with Latin and Western music informed his innovative bass playing, making him a pivotal figure in the band’s fusion sound.

The 1980s pop scene, characterized by its synthesizer-driven melodies and catchy hooks, provided a backdrop for her experimentation with blending traditional accordion sounds with contemporary pop and rock elements. Artists like Julieta Venegas, who would later bring the accordion into pop music, were early influences on her style, encouraging her to push the boundaries of her instrument.

Javier González

  • Face and Body: Javier has a rugged, approachable look, with a warm, inviting gaze and a sturdy build. His movements are powerful yet controlled, a reflection of his skill as a drummer.
  • Clothes: On stage, he opts for practicality with a flair for the dramatic—dark, fitted t-shirts, cargo pants, and wristbands. His attire allows him freedom of movement while adding an element of intensity to his performance.
  • Javier’s initial foray into music through the heavy metal scene introduced him to the power of percussion as a driving force in a band. His influences quickly expanded to include the complex rhythms of progressive rock bands like Rush and the energy of punk groups such as The Clash. The diverse musical landscape of the 1980s, with its blend of electronic, rock, and world music, inspired him to develop a versatile drumming style that could navigate between genres, making him the perfect fit for a band that stood at the crossroads of cultural and musical fusion.
