Another Blog? Let's Blog About It.
Hi Everyone! As you know, my creative pursuits are always leading me to exciting new horizons. Well, my latest endeavor is something I'm thrilled about. A few months ago, I began exploring AI platforms, namely ChatGPT and Midjourney. Partly because, as a college professor, it's my job to stay at the forefront of knowledge and understand these groundbreaking tools, and not just for cheating. But also because, well, I'm a total geek for this kind of stuff! It's just so me, right?
I've been drawn to chatbots since I was a kid, the earliest I remember was tinkering with a computer game I loved called Life and Death in the Brain in the 90's. The speed with which they have evolved is astounding. It was like stepping into a playground where nerdy meets fun in the best possible way.
This delightful exploration sparked a side project that's been a pure joy: Artifex Index Magazine. Think of it as an AI Art Zine, where human creativity dances with AI capabilities, creating something wonderfully unique. I've also started this blog which goes hand in hand with the zine, a space where I share snippets from Artifex Index.
The first post in the series, AI Cinema Reviews is "Ernest Goes to Jail," a movie that, despite its comedic exterior, casts a rather surprising light on the human condition and the intricacies of the American justice and penal system.
If you're curious (and I hope you are), sign up on the email form for future posts and articles or follow @artifexindex on Instagram. It's a little offbeat, a touch quirky, but that's what makes it so endearing. And guess what? The printed first edition is coming out soon! Best, Christie
