“pure souls” - the original version
The original version of the collection was released on March 31st 2023 and it included the following artworks on behalf of Asycd. The 'pure souls' collection features a series of abstract images that evoke purity and creativity. Each artwork in the collection was generated through AI, showcasing a unique blend of technology and artistry. The collection aims to challenge the boundaries of AI censorship and spark contemplation on philosophical and arbitrary ideas. With a minimalist and futuristic vibe, the 'pure souls' collection embodies the intersection of AI as a tool and a source of inspiration.
The motivation behind the collection could be viewed as a creative exploration into the AI’s interpretative lens, attempting to visualise a concept that is traditionally tied to personal beliefs and nuanced understanding.
In achieving this endeavor, the collection sought to accomplish a few key objectives:
To push the boundaries of AI and creativity by challenging the AI to visualize a concept that is inherently human and subjective.
To create a body of work that comes from the collaborative interplay between a human curator and AI’s generative abilities, showcasing how technology can be an extension of human creativity.
To invite viewers to engage with a visual representation of ‘pure souls’ – something that cannot be tangibly grasped – and allow them to introspect what that means to them personally.
To stimulate dialogue about the role of AI in artistic processes and the interpretation of philosophical ideas.
To demonstrate the potential of AI as a tool for discovering and presenting artistic content, which is reflective of collective human consciousness.
The collection wasn’t just about the final outputs but the narrative and the discussion it generates about art, AI, and the depth of uncharted knowledge within these themes.
