Every other week, we discuss a technology that can greatly benefit creators. Next, we give a shout-out to a talented artist who uses AI and is a great source of inspiration. Lastly, we engage in a lively debate on a hot topic.

This week, we talk about:

• NVIDIA's Instant NeRF, introduced in March 2022, is a breakthrough technology in 3D modelling that allows artists to generate detailed 3D models from just a few 2D images. It dramatically accelerates the rendering process, rendering a scene in as little as one second. It has applications in game design, virtual reality, and realistic scene rendering, offering unparalleled levels of creativity to digital artists.

• Ayşegül Altınel, known as @sallyateyou on Instagram, is a versatile artist from Istanbul, born in 1989. She studied Textile Arts and Pattern Design, which influenced her unique approach to art. Her work often revolves around urban landscapes, specifically her hometown of Istanbul. She has an ongoing project called "Hacking The City," in which she creatively reinterprets iconic structures and landmarks of Istanbul, offering a whimsical and nostalgic perspective on the city's transformation over the years.

• The Barbie movie's exceptional $162 million opening has sparked a wave of AI-generated creations. Leveraging existing datasets, like Barbie, AI enables rapid experimentation for innovative marketing content. We discuss how this is reshaping the future of advertising and content creation.

This week, we talk about:

• Expressive Text-to-image with Rich Text: This tool gives a lot more intuitive control to prompters without having to learn model-specific commands. Extract each word’s attributes from rich text to enable local style control, explicit token re-weighting, precise colour rendering, and detailed region synthesis. Give it a try: https://rich-text-to-image.github.io/#:~:text=We%20explore%20using%20versatile%20format,supplementary%20description%20for%20long%20prompts.

• Refik Anadol: Embedding media arts into architecture with data and machine intelligence for public art. https://www.instagram.com/refikanadol/

• Finally, we discuss Refik Anadol’s work and AI art in general: “Who is the creator? The human or the machine?”
