surreal alternate realities Through his largerthanlife graphics this enigmatic creator leverages the power of artificial intelligence to breathe life into the intangible painting vibrant sequences that had previously resided solely within the corridors of our mindsThe central theme of Toosids work is the depiction of alternate realities These alternate realities are not constrained by the laws of physics or the limitations of our world They are fantastical dreams and surreal visions that capture the essence of what we feel but cannot express Toosids art becomes the vessel for these expressionsMidday had the privilege of sitting down with Toosid to decode his approach to AI art and delve into his creative psycheWhat sparks your imagination and how do you align it with Artificial IntelligenceThere is no set process for me when it comes to conceiving the ideas for the content I create Its a dynamic and everevolving journey where I dabble around with AI art on a daily basis to add a visual dimension to my thoughts and creativity Inspiration often strikes unexpectedly and I find that something will spontaneously pop up igniting my creative curiosity From there I seize upon these seeds of inspiration and build upon them to craft meaningful and engaging visual conversationsThe human mind never stops thinking and the power of lsquowhat ifrsquo has always kept me on my toes ever since childhood I have always leaned towards thinking beyond the usual maybe because Irsquove always believed in the power of possibilitiesIn terms of my creative process I embrace the power of various AI platforms to bring my visions to life Ive been utilising a range of tools including stable diffusion runway ML and open AI These platforms have become my virtual canvases each offering a unique set of capabilities that contribute to the diversity and depth of my workThe process is inherently collaborative I initiate a dialogue with the AI introducing concepts and ideas that may have stemmed from my personal experiences emotions or societal themes As I feed these prompts into the AI it responds with its own interpretations often surprising me with unexpected yet captivating outcomes This dance between the intention imagination AI interpretation and my obsession with perfection is where the magic happens sparking powerful conversations that transcend traditional artistic boundariesIn essence my creative journey with AI is a fluid exploration of the unknown where randomness meets intention and technology meets human emotion Its about embracing the unpredictable breaking free from conventions and engaging in a continuous dialogue with the algorithms that amplify and redefine the possibilities of your personal expressionWhat is the message you wish to convey through your workI dont adhere to a fixed message that Im aiming to convey through my work Instead my art is a reflection of a personal journeymdasha journey into the depths of my own cosmogony if you will Its a venture into the intricate tapestry of my thoughts emotions experiences and imaginationI believe that arts true power lies not in imposing a singular message but in cultivating an environment where meaningful conversations can thrive Its about inviting viewers to explore their own emotions beliefs and interpretations as they engage with my work In this sense my creations serve as catalysts for personal discovery encouraging a deeper connection with oneself and the world at largeIn this digital age where technology and human existence intertwine in unprecedented ways I find myself compelled to explore the uncharted territories of this intersection My creations born from the collaboration between my artistic intentions and the enigmatic responses of AI embody a fusion of human and machine perspectives to unveil the unseen or unheard Moreover my art is a manifestation of human fantasies allowing me to break conformity and blur boundaries between people communities and geographies while I delve into a world wersquove somewhere thought of or have hoped that it existedArt is but a mirror of human complexities and the beauty of it lies in the freedom of both expression and interpretationThrough my art Im inviting viewers to embark on a contemplative voyagemdasha journey beyond the boundaries of traditional art formsUltimately the message that emerges from my art is a tapestry woven from the myriad threads of human experience technologys influence and the infinite possibilities that arise when we venture into the realm where our own cosmogonies collideThrough your creativity how do you aim to promote inclusivityMy art is usually a celebration of humans in all shape size and color As a child my parents have always underscored the importance of sympathy and empathy and have ensured that Irsquove always been to others what Irsquove wanted them to be to me these were the first set of life skills taught to me In fact Irsquove always been reminded that everyone is equal since childhoodSo inclusivity doesnrsquot seem like a phenomenon to me but has been paramountThrough my AIgenerated art I strive to create a space where diversity and representation flourish The amalgamation of AI technology and human creativity offers a unique platform to bridge gaps and celebrate the rich tapestry of humanityMy art doesnt adhere to conventional norms or preconceived notions allowing me to transcend boundaries that might limit inclusivity By leveraging the capabilities of AI I can explore a wide spectrum of themes and concepts that resonate with individuals from various walks of lifeMy art serves as a canvas for stories emotions and experiences that resonate universally fostering empathy and understanding I ensure that my creations reflect a diverse array of cultures identities and perspectives This intentional representation goes beyond tokenism its a conscious effort to weave a rich tapestry of human existence that resonates deeply with a wider audience ultimately celebrating nonbiased representations while breaking away from cookiecutter strokes of depiction and promoting the highest levels of shared humanityWhat is your role as an artist in shaping a positive discourse on the culture of toleranceAs an artist I believe that I have the superpower to transform nonbias representations into compelling tolerable and approachable narratives Moreover art is a great medium to legitimise positive conversations about social themes and topics that are both heavily polarised and rigidly definedMy art becomes a vessel through which I infuse culturebased conversations with a sense of vitality and reassurance making them more accessible to a wider audience This is crucial in a world where understanding and empathy are imperative for societal progressOne of the aspects that art excels in is its ability to challenge stereotypes preconceptions and biases Through my work I aim to subvert these norms allowing viewers to engage with culturebased conversations from a fresh perspective By weaving art into these discussions I aim to instill a sense of openness tolerance and understanding creating an environment where diverse viewpoints can coexist harmoniouslySo my role as an artist I think is to firstly archive the general cultural nuances that are happening around us right now as it is Secondly I want to act as a conduit of change and a catalyst encouraging diverse viewpoints and opinions empowering people to evolve inclusively and reverently Thirdly plant seeds of ideas and perceptions that help other artists take over and form an ecosystem of a united art movement universally
