Remix 4: Robo-Pop: Remixing Culture with AI

Project 2: Robo-Pop: Remixing Culture with AI

• Your Task:

  • Select a popular and culturally significant image.

    
    

  • Use AI remixing tools to create a series of (9-12) new images that infuse fresh meaning and perspective while preserving the essence of the original. 

    
    

  • Aim to balance innovation with respect for the source material, demonstrating how the old can be transformed through new technologies. 

    
    

  • As you work, reflect on your creative choices and the ethical considerations involved in your process.

• AI Tools

  • Here’s a list of AI tools that allow you to upload images for remixing, editing, or using as references. I want you to think about these as more than tools, more like collaborators. Run your images in and out of multiple processes, including digital tools like Adobe, and any apps that you already use. Also consider using analog processes like drawing, painting, photography, hand cut collage, etc. Weave them back and forth between AI and your other processes and take advantage of the fresh perspective that AI can offer, but you are the artist and should retain artistic control. Above all, have fun, play, experiment, take risks, try new things and wonder down unfamiliar paths.
