      I realised today that did not directly reply to you Richard and it appeared a general comment

    Thank you Richard! I don't think I will ever try to make sense😃 of my bizarre dreams....maybe one day I might try to make a video with the help of AI of some dream sequences!

    I have been told by one of our friends that he tried to comment but was not able to post his comment. If that occurs for anyone else, please let me know. pt

    Alexandra, it will be most interesting to see what you come up with if you try to make a video via Ai ! I imagine you will experience some frustration with the engines' inability to see your images as you want them to appear despite clear instructions. I know you have already experienced that in the past with still images, but in the movies the Ai models take immense liberties and don't seem to know left of frame from right of frame. In this piece I asked Luma to create an object that the girl could not open, even with the help of her father:

    file:///C:/Users/User/Desktop/3234d51f-4af8-4691-9a29-bbf2a8ce2412_raw_video_1_video031065272ea444214944fc81b4dc3f2c2.mp4

    But that prompt never made any impression on Luma Dream Machine.

    "Great work, Alexandra. Right up my experimental alley!" This comment is from David King but for some reason we do not understand, Blogger would not let David post it.

    Thank you DJK, interesting times ahead with AI but at this stage I don't have a pc powerful enough to deal with videos

    For you Aleksia, and David. I'm prepared to try one of your ideas for an AI video. My computer is powerful enough to give it a few tries. All I need is for either of you to send me a prompt in the form of an outline which I can feed into the Ai engine. The prompt you might send me can be in the form of a very descriptive short story, lets say about 4 or 5 paragraphs. I would do it in bite sized paragraphs because so far these engines all seem to work like that. We can do this in a collaborative manner through emails. I will enter the prompts you send and you will see the results as I feed them back and share with you, then if you like you can extend the prompts in a
    manner of correction or redirection. Of course you can already do the same on your own with Dora, Luma or Gen-2. There's no rush, the Ai engines are all getting better every few weeks!

    Of course it would help if I had a computer as powerful as the ones which the Pentagon and Nasa have, but I don't!

Update on Sora, Luma, Runway Gen-2 Ai text and image machines.

Recently I posted this: From Richard: We knew it was coming, but it's still hard to believe                                                                                                      February 20, 2024 In that blog Richard introduced me to SORA which I found astonishing. Some of you may also have been as astonished as I was.  Since then Richard sent me a new lead on "LUMA DREAM MACHINE" which offers in some respects more than what SORA did. Here's a link to their main page which has been going viral: https://lumalabs.ai/dream-machine Well I 've been playing with Luma for a few days now, and to-ing and fro-ing with Richard and Alix... some of the results took my breath away, some were totally disappointing. Let's start with...

Maria Korporal: An Introduction to Her Work

Image
Darko has recently introduced me to multimedia artist  Maria Korporal. Of Dutch origin, Maria   lived   in Italy  for many years but she has lived and worked in Berlin  since 2014 . Her artistic production includes video art, interactive projects, installations. Her multimedia work has been designed using a wide variety of techniques. The narrative aspect, both personal and social, plays a major role in her work which together with the directness of the images and the sounds leads to greater participation of the viewer. In her work she plays with virtuality and reality, with undergone and artificially generated experiences. Most of her projects deal with social and environmental issues, often with an ironic approach. A good example is her project Korporal Zoo , a series of video works made between 2010 and 2018, which observe the animal and human world from several perspectives: cultural, social, environmental.  Over the last two years Maria experienced the...

Eyeless in Gaza, images from the net.

          Eyeless in Gaza...   Footnotes:   I wanted to leave these images up clear of any text. My friend Richard suggested we should acknowledge the sources so I've made a big effort to track them down out of respect for the incredible job they do, and especially for their courage, working in the dangerous zones where so many aid workers and journalists have lost their lives. But some are not credited on the pages of publications I drew them from. Here's a list I've just completed, numbered from the image No.1 at top of page down to the final one, No.9  1.
