"caught in time"





 "caught in time"



A little movie made with a lot of assistance from my AI imaging slaves! 


All of them!


It's too complicated to tell you every single step in the process today, 

but I'll respond to questions later. 


The best part is having my sister Chris writing great music for me whenever I need it!


Hope you like!

    Thanks Aleksia, I'm glad we have shared this stuff over the past few weeks. Today I branched out and tried two more BOTS. By this I mean "subscribed to" 2 more Bots. I've just done my first image to movie on "getimg.ai" and earlier I had been experimenting with "Story Diffusion". I think you would like some of what I have done on these two platforms. I'll share with you when I have more progress to show, but I am having fun!

    I wonder how many people will see the M.C Escher connection at the end? Peter didn't intend it so wasn't thinking about it, but when I pointed it out, I think he was quite pleased. These AI systems can give you some pretty unexpected results.

    Yes David, I had not thought of Escher in this work, I was more interested in the "escape" from the amber prison in which the insect died, and in which it had been preserved for many thousands of years. Also the notion that if I could bring the insect "back to life" it would be a bit like the amber was an egg from which the preserved/resurrected insect was hatching! The Ai Bot gave me the multiple insects which was totally unexpected, and they were not of the same genus as the mosquito trapped inside.

    So all this indicates how "unpredictable" these bots can be. It is incredibly difficult to "direct" them to give you what YOU WANT! So I've modified my approach to accept some of their "accidents"... completely unexpected productions, while I still reject a lot of what they give me which are just plain wrong and useless, that is... wrong for me and therefore useless to me.

    I think you should have a go with some of your ideas David, you can get free shots from many of these bots, e.g. Luma AI offer 30 clips per month for free.

    And by definition they have to be brief because the free clips are usually about 5 or 10 secs duration.

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 world as extremely turbulent

"Eat. Sleep. Dive." by David King

Image
Eat. Sleep. Dive.  A simple, monastic existence for 15 days. Breakfast at 7.30am, freediving from around 10.30am to 2.30pm, return to shore, wash gear, rest and recover and maybe do some shopping in the local markets until dinner at 7.30pm. In bed, exhausted by 10.30pm. Next day, repeat. No TV, no newspapers, no social media. The only variations to the schedule were breathing and strength exercises and some pool work. The staff of Bali Reef Divers Resort were more than happy to let us drop a weight belt to the bottom of their 2m pool and do static breathholds with reflections of palm trees dancing on the surface above. This was our life in Tulamben, Bali over two weeks in July-August 2023. The diving was spectacular. Breath-taking. Mind-boggling. From six or seven metres of visibility in Port Phillip Bay to 15 – 25 metres of viz off the north-east coast of Bali where the water temperature was between 26 and 29 degrees every day. From shivering in 9 – 12 degrees on land and wearing thi

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 an early test piece... from one of my interests in Cave Art. I asked Luma to create a video only from TEXT, so I fed this text in as the first prompt without using any images: An elderly neolithic man and two younger companions ent
