Protection AI image

I've nearly finished reading the most wonderful novel by Irish writer Doireann Ni Ghriofa called Said the Dead about a woman's investigations into a 18th century asylum. I was thinking about our recent pandemic and the affect on many people's state of mind and how we furnish ourselves with objects that console us. A teddy bear features in some of my art as a symbol of comfort but also marking a major shift in my life. This is the image I made after giving instructions to an AI. It began with a photo of me when I was 22 years old.

I may have gone a little overboard with the amount of wrinkles placed on this face, which began with a photograph of me at 26 years old. Otherwise I'm happy that the AI executed my instructions very well. As always - my idea, my requests, carried out by an AI tool. 

Scenes from my play

My recent foray into Nano Banana - a multi algorithms array, lead me to give it precise instructions and descriptions of various scenes in the play that I wrote in 2024. I chose Cinematic as the style because it allowed me to set scenes with a 1950s aesthetic. Please note that the play is simultaneously unpublished and unstaged, however in a way I have been able to present it as though it has been parti

ally staged through this virtual medium. I learnt through the process that I often had to correct what the AI provided to me until I achieved the scene that I envisaged in my mind whilst writing the play.  Here are some of the scenes.

More AI assisted images

It's convenient for me to utilize my own face rather than appropriate that of another. Here are latest images I've created using Nani Banana AI with the baseline being photographs of me at different times in my life.

More AI images

I've been altering photographs of me at different times in my life and altering them using an AI imaging programme. Here are the latest.

Rrose Selavy

This morning I made (AI assisted) a work in response to Duchamp's Rrose Selavy. I began with that Photobooth photo of me when I was 15 and instructed the AI to make various changes to it. Here is Duchamp's work and my AI image.
