The .. [ ] artificial (intelligence) camera is a creative tool for exploring the emerging intersection between generative artificial intelligence (AI) and creative practice. Referencing the spontaneity and fun of retro instant cameras, you simply point the ‘camera’ towards something of interest, press the ‘shutter button,’ and an AI-generated image is instantly printed.
Generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools are increasingly becoming both, a threat to, and a part of the creative design process. Many designers are feeling pressured to become prompt engineers, guiding AI systems to craft design outputs. Yet, the text-based prompt interfaces of these systems don’t necessarily match the process of many creative practitioners. The ** [ ] artificial (intelligence) camera set out to create an intuitive, natural, spontaneous, interface for exploring generative AI while giving the creative practioner agency in the process. Enabling creatives to get out from behind the computer and create inspiring ‘images’ and creative inspiration out in the world.
