I finally released my old workhorse, the Halluzinator notebook for making animations. This is the notebook that I used with doing all my music animations. It might perhaps be no match for some newer and fancier notebooks (like Pytti or Disco Diffusion), but it does still have certain charm. It was done in view of…

Get started with making AI art in 2022
If you are interested about the current AI graphic art scene, this is meant for you. I wrote a short post aimed at newcomers as the very first thing in this blog many moons ago – when I was a rank beginner myself. Since then, things have advanced so rapidly that I felt a completely…
The Faking Of “The Woman In The White Dress”
It is customary these days for even small productions to put out a “The Making of” video to increase the public interest. I’m going to skip that part, since visually-wise, the making of “The Woman In The White Dress” is just not that interesting (as pictured above). Instead I’m going to elucidate in this blog…
The Promptist Manifesto
This artistic manifesto – to my knowledge the first one to be associated with what is called “AI Art” and also written by an “AI” – was published first in May 2021 on the Latent Space discord server. At that time I together with other artists were thinking about an umbrella term for a possible…
On what I’ve been up to (Halluzinator)
I know, I know, it has been far too long since I last wrote something. I can only defend myself by telling that I at least have been very busy all this time. And what I’ve been doing is the subject of this post, as well as what will ensue from that. When I encountered…
New tools: Lucid Sonic Dreams, Traverser and Hallucinator (also: New music video)
I have a new video and the link is below this post. Here is a rundown of each of the three tools that I used to make the graphics. Each of them is worthy of having a dedicated blog post, and it is rather likely that I will do them sometime in future. To begin…
Co-composing with Jukebox – a video tutorial
As much as I love AI visuals, it is the OpenAI Jukebox that remains my main attraction. Well, it’s not that simple. What I really love is the synergy of the deeplearn-produced visuals and sounds combined together, uncanny valleys of differing modalities dancing in and out of phase. I believe Jukebox – or similar technology…
Making images with CLIP
In the early days of this year’s January, two posts appeared at the same time on OpenAI’s blog. One of them introduced neural network called CLIP that combines visual concepts with natural language, while the other one was about another new network called DALL-E that could produce hyper-realistic images from natural language instructions. CLIP was…
Newest music video
It’s here, this week’s music video. I’ve been trying to produce these on weekly basis – maybe I should slow down a little; to invest some time for refining the end result… or maybe getting my work backlog done instead of staring at psychedelic messes of color all day… It is always interesting how the…
Some beginner resources
I thought of linking to online resources that I like and visit frequently. This blog by Vladimir Alexeev (MerzMensch) is a big inspiration for me. For a good starting point for your journey into ML generation, I recommend the pinned post, which describes itself as A place where all potential creative tools are collected with…
