A good prompt can win you free art by real artists

Nine Tasmanian artists will select from a pool of image prompts to create real artworks that will be returned to those submitting the original prompts.

TasmanAi is an image generator with a twist. Instead of using artificial intelligence to mash up artworks online and regurgitate them as “new” creations, nine Tasmanian artists have joined forces to select image prompts submitted by participants and create real artworks.

Foley continues: ‘We are currently controlled by algorithms – through social media and technology’s ability to imprison our attention. Our creative and emotional life is already being tainted by these human technological interactions. This is visible in the watering down and homogeneity of so much content. TasmanAi allows us to investigate and expand our understanding of our own operational systems and the universe more expansively.’
