“We Live In Between Things That Are Bizarre-ing”


1. The bizarre: We see as we know 1. The beauty of non-exist 2. Oddly Stisfying 3. A conflict or constradiction: Romantic and Destructive at the same time 4. Spill the water, cut off your human selfishness 5. Floated liquids glued by muds and consciousness

"Every day, our minds overflow with endless ideas, and we see countless images. In the hustle and bustle of my daily life, I often think about strange but wonderful scenes. They boost my motivated energy and we all live in between these sweet chaos."

In a sentence I came across in a photo book, Ray elaborates, "The Human Qualities That Evan Uncovers Through His Photographs, Ray Goes On To Say — “the Way He Acknowledges People As Vulnerable, Idiosyncratic, Intrinsically Flawed, But With Tenderness, The People We Are, Rather Than Those We Are Supposed To Be” — Were As Much A Part Of The Placebo Project As The Notion Of Creating Objects As Starting Points Or Triggers For Further Imagining."

Starting from the wild imagination of our everyday lives, this collection comprises a selection of ordinary objects, food, humans, nature, and unexpected situations outdoors. It's a blend(fusion) of different experiences.

The humor in this contexts is notably more sinister, deriving its essence from a realm of cunning and dark amusement.

Q(In): What draws you to AI artistry/photography and Why? A(Sh): Before I discovered AI on my own journeys, I was obsessed with fashion photography. At the time, I was very interested in using AI technology. I loved creating images that had a bit of reality but also a bit of mystery. When I first started sharing my work on Instagram, I focused on creating fashion-related AI that looked as realistic as possible. But over time, my interests changed. I enjoyed creating visuals that pushed the boundaries of what AI could do.
Q: How do you gauge the prevalence of AI-driven media among designers, commercial brands, and artists? Since Ai itself is a tool that can build anything on a white paper, it’s much more invigorating to have a range of services irrespective of time, location or mode of use than in the past and I think there will be more services in the future than now. I think Ai is a tool that can bring a lot of diversity and ideas to work, not only in fashion but also in any industry.
Q: How to unpack your ideas into work and track the progress stages? A: I have always loved chatting, so I recently started looking for a new way to run my business: talking to CHAT GPT. I have found that these discussions often lead to interesting ideas, especially when they are closely related to the text in hand. In order to do a more vivid job, I have learned that it is important to collect a lot of records and keywords. Once I choose a keyword, I dive into a collection of multiple images. However, interacting with AI can be time-consuming. Therefore eliminate anywhere from 20 to 50 images before making my first choice. Then, through iterations, I refine my choices, choosing the final piece. In this process, I also use various other tools to improve creativity.
Q: What is your vision, plan or preferred title? A: As I embark on this journey, my ultimate goal is to explore the art of AI until I take every opportunity it offers However, a lingering thought tugs at the corner of my mind — a vision of the future where AI, like Photoshop. everywhere today At that inevitable moment, I want to carve out a unique design for myself as an AI artist, and infuse each creation with my unique passion. I imagine images that look effortlessly realistic yet hide a subtle hint of surrealism, a testament to the infinite potential of humans and AI collaborating. If you check out the Instagram profiles of people in the AI scene, you'll see they go by all sorts of names. I've been using "AI Art" too, but honestly, I'm not sure if it fits. I just love the idea of being called an "image maker."
Q: Is the idea of AI-powered cognition considered dangerous? A: I find mindfulness synonymous with freedom. With every technological advancement, there is the inherent purity and fallibility that molds every aspect of society. Technological shortcomings are also opportunities for improvement. Maybe it is my passion for realism, but I see a future in which AI takes precedence over humanity, which is an concern of our society that potentially AI could pose a risk to our moral values and humanity. I believe it is also meant to be.


With Creative People:

Introducing the very first image of an artificial and visionary story. Explore emerging creativity with everyday individuals in its raw form.

In London, I've explored various creative fields, from styling to photography. I called myself a visual director, merging all my projects. As I navigate this scene, branding questions arise. Playing with chaos, I prep exhibition projects fueled by fresh ideas. Exciting exhibitions are coming up, with our monthly events planned for April and May. I invite you to join us on this journey through social media, where we can build our meaningful experiences together.

The aim of starting this AI-based project was to add another interest into the monotony of daily life, pleasing Myself constantly with a sense of humor.

The images below—Backgrounds 1, 2, and 3—also feature textured backgrounds that are challenging to replicate the reality using AI. We've experimented with various materials like food, object, and wallpaper. It takes a lot of effort to create a single image, ranging from 1 to 10.

When it comes to shooting high-end brands, it requires over 100 people such as production, art direction, styling, mood boards, set design, art teams, and makeup artists to contribute their efforts for a single shoot. But what  do you mean by the successful image? Everyone has their own perspectives. For me, the visual display of future-oriented imagination and photography is unique, distinguish, a form of storytelling and communication.

People(Individuals) would love to dress up in the way that they want to wear among simple, layered, histeric, masculine, feminine, romantic and modern style. Making imagery is the same thing. Attempting “image maker” with AI leads us to endless aesthetic sources of scenes that can be produced.
The notion of being the most fun!

Undoubtedly, No reason to refuse the new informative technique media.
