The Resource is a collaboration between a team of artists and technologists who have come together to create a unique audio visual experience. Our goal is to push the boundaries of art and technology and to offer a new way of experiencing immersive art.
“The resource” is the result of a process that explores advanced collaborative workflows, AI for rapid sketching and concept projection, 3D modelling in VR, real-time mapping of synchronised audio visuals, metaverse deployment.
The collaboration was initiated through an open call on Discord, a VoIP and instant messaging social platform.
Discord besides being used as the main communication and screen share platform, is also used to run a shared Midjourney AI bot, this particular AI can use text and images to generate new images. As such it is a perfect tool to work simultaneously with several people and generate a shared vision.
Once a visual shared vision is achieved, a text can be sculpted with the help of a GPT-3 AI text generator, the word sculpting is used deliberately in this context, to achieve the final version of a text we(humans) use various subtractive and additive text editing methods.
Together these two elements, text and images, complement each other and form a cohesive and coherent foundation to engage the next step, collaborative 3D modelling in VR. The files shared in this repository are the results of this ongoing project.
