The first extraordinary art book created through promtography. The artist and author has created the images, not with paint and brush but with AI.
This is an incredible selection of images, created through promtography. The artist Annika Nordenskild has used AI as a tool to portray her dreams and inner fantasies. None of the places, people or creatures in this book exist in the physical realm. Instead, they are conjured from the sum of human experience in our deep collective well. "I press enter and four versions of an image start appearing in the darkness. I have prompted deliberately, starting with characters and themes, the mood, and what matters most. Adding lesser details towards the end. I do not reference any existing work or artist, but I am specific with the time and setting. Slowly layers are added, and shapes are taking form." The result is a book that is both beautiful and intriguing.
Annika Nordenskild is an established painter and sculptor in Sweden, that has chosen to use digital tools to create her art. She has had numerous exhibitions throughout the years, but the biggest exhibition success has been with the images presented in this book. In October 2023, Annika won the world's first artificial intelligence art award, 'Prompted Peculiar' at the Ballarat International Foto Biennale, Australia.
