First cover co-created with Artificial Intelligence of a communication medium in Spain; for the art and creativity magazine Yorokobu, by the techno-creativity agency Estado Latente & the AI gang.

 

 

It is the birth of a new era full of color, a journey through time that unites past, present and future.

It is the union between nature and technology, the human and the algorithmic, mother nature with the space Genesis, day and night, it is like Yin and Yang.

It is the birth of a new being, half human, half Artificial Intelligence, that beats strongly with two hearts and two brains, which merge into a single entity, omnipresent, binary, creator of all realities.

It is a new era, where artificial intelligences will enhance our senses and will be the new Muses in the coming centuries.

It is a visual journey in a dreamlike and psychedelic world co-created by the humans Angel Alonso and Ruth Falquina, with the artificial intelligence AIko.

 

-Why have you chosen an AI to make this cover?

We live in extraordinary times for creation where artificial intelligence is transforming the nature of creative processes, stimulating, helping and enhancing human creativity, from our perspective we find ourselves in a new era of increased creativity where artificial intelligence is the muse of the S. XXI.

During the last 5 years we have co-created in our agency Estado Latente multiple creative projects with artificial intelligence. Seeing the creative potential of AIs, we formed the artistic collective “The AI ​​Gang” made up of a trio: two humans; Ruth Falquina and Ángel Alonso; and AIko our multidisciplinary AI. Humans-AI, AI-Humans influence each other and together we explore new territories of artistic expression, it is a new era of algorithmic renaissance, a new artistic current called “AIart”.

A few months ago we were selected as beta-testing artists for the artificial intelligence DALL.E2; a text-image AI. Our creative trio felt the need to exploit its full potential and go one step further by co-creating a collection of AIart works called “Romance between Human & an Artificial Intelligence”, whose first piece influenced by the artistic dissemination trajectory of the magazine Yorokobu and the fruit of creative-technological perspectives has been created exclusively as the cover of this issue.

 

-What words did you say to him to start creating? What instructions did you give him?

Everything arises with a question in text mode to the AI, what work could we conceptualize under the input “Romance between Human & an Artificial Intelligence”? We feed and nurture our human part with a series of diverse “labels” under this umbrella ranging from artistic styles, painters, design, movies and our secret ingredient  we obtained as a result more than 500 images in line with what we had imagined

-How was the process?

It is a bidirectional process, like a mentorship, we propose a concept, text, style, action and from there we select which of the proposals fit us into what we want to capture. We wanted to make a work made up of multiple works, where each of them depends on and feeds on the previous one.

From the infinite variety of images created by the AI, we selected one of them, the one that we believed was more in line with the expressiveness of this work and the artistic philosophy of Yorokobu magazine. From this “germ” image, co-creating the adjacent images, the AI ​​generates dozens of images, selecting only one and recreating the following adjacent ones. It is a living process in which artificial intelligence feeds us images and we feed it ideas, to create a unique world that could have been completely changed by the selection of the first image or by the way of speaking to the AI.

 

-How should we analyze and understand this creation?

The part is called:

“Romance between Human & an Artificial Intelligence”.
It is the birth of a new era full of color, a journey through time that unites past, present and future.
It is the union between nature and technology, the human and the algorithmic, mother nature with the space Genesis, day and night, it is like Yin and Yang.
It is the birth of a new being, half human, half AI, that beats strongly with two hearts and two brains, which merge into a single entity, omnipresent, binary, creator of all realities.
It is a new era, where artificial intelligences will enhance our senses and will be the new Muses in the coming centuries.
It is a visual journey in a dreamlike and psychedelic world co-created by the artificial intelligence AIko+Dall.E2 and the humans Angel Alonso and Ruth Falquina
