Hi friends - do you have any examples of artists creating their own image datasets from scratch, specifically in order to train ML / AI models? For example, in order to produce her "Leaves of Manifold" series, Helena Sarin scanned 1000 leaves from her backyard to train a GAN.

Hot take on teaching Art + generative AI in 2025: • Drowning in a flood of complex and quickly-changing tools • Parched in a desert of inspirational artworks and exemplars (Context: teaching arts undergraduates, using e.g. ComfyUI)

Went on the internet archive and found some art I put on geocities when I was 9 years old. I kind of want to cry because I thought it was lost forever.

@tega.bsky.social This 1985 book, re-coded by Julien, has a face generator, "Le programme DES CENTAINES DE VISAGES" :)

It took me a while but I finally finished to recode the 300 programs of Jean-Paul Delahaye’s book "Nouveaux dessins géométriques et artistiques" with p5js. The book was published in 1985 and features classic generative algorithms. github.com/v3ga/nouveau...

i'm building an experimental tool for exploring 25 years of my old sketchbooks, with image and text recognition powered by gemini

I'm planning a studio course in "Art + Generative AI" for the spring (using tools like Runway, ComfyUI, HuggingFace etc.) and can barely contain my nausea at the howling emptiness of the majority of AI art. My goal is to get the students to claw back something redeeming in this space, anything.
