Today’s Daily Create asked us to play with the Net.Art Generator. Maybe I should have read the home page, but instead I clicked the Create button as soon as I found it. Moments earlier I had been thinking about AI-generated images and art and Van Gogh’s Starry Night, so that’s what I put in. The output was somewhat interesting to me, reminiscent of Jasper Johns and some of my own adventures in rectangularity. But not good enough. So I tried Starry Knight, just to see what might happen. The text stencilled on the image also reminds me of Johns, but I was able to find the source. To take it one step beyond, and in keeping with the AI theme, I tried Starry Knightrider. I couldn’t decide which to use, so why not all of them?
Now I’m wondering what I might be able to do with KITT and HAL-9000. Apparently MadamBlackWolf thought of this already.
Never have I ever considered the potential of having these different era A.I. battle it out with one another. I’m thinking like the Computer in War Games (WOPR) vs. the computer in Colossus: The Forbin Project. Lot of territory to mine there I would say given how much we’ve seen re-hashed in the Marvel and DC Comics universes.
I need to figure out a way to get references to Dave and Hasselhoff into the rap battle. Not quite there yet.
